What? The “environmentalists” and “ecologists” would fight against further expansion of the techniques of fracking, by using hyperbole and demonstrated untruths?

Can they not present a rational argument, founded in demonstrated effectiveness, as to the worth of fracking as a means of extracting wealth from the environment? Or is it enough for them that wealth should NOT, ever, be extracted from the dear Earth Mother?

As far as cows being poisoned by the effects of coming in contact with spilled or escaped petroleum or natural gas, this argument is virtually unchanged from horror stories that were circulated since the early days of oil exploration and extraction in Texas and Oklahoma. All that “damage” was rapidly debunked even back then, and still, like a dog to its own vomit, they keep on going back the the same unfounded and disproved rants.

That would require rejecting their own religion.
