Elizabeth Burns, 2008-2010. Texas blog updated frequently.

Covers a broad range of environmental topics related to mining and minerals.  Her observations about her legal battles with Exxon Mobil are a must to read.

"This blog is a satire about life on a 38,000 acre ranch in the South Texas oilfield. ExxonMobil's eco-friendly tv commercials during the 2008 olympic games provoked me into action."

See personal video:  Depraved Indifference. Jan. 3, 2010.

Chevron, Texaco and Exxon Mobil have left pits of burned chemical sludge across South Texas.
