The environmentalist ultimate goal is decreased consumption, which can otherwise be equally termed increased depravity...with that, all that’s required is to proper sales pitch.

Some companies use a citrus extract as a fracking fluid. Once the sadists in the environmental movement fully understand this…that one potential solution may be to pump foods stuffs underground and thereby increasing the cost of many staple foods -they may well turn on a dime and demand high concentrate citrus hydrofracking!

Anybody remember ethanol? You don’t need corn to make government cheese and you don’t need oranges either.

The big government left does not want American citizens to enjoy prosperity, jobs and reasonably priced energy.

Fracking for natural gas and oil can unlock deposits the size of Saudi Arabia right here in the USA. In a few years we could reduce our dependence on oil imports from countries and people that hate us, but love our dollars. One stinking well that overflowed some stuff while drilling is not the reason to stop fracking or over regulate it. The ground water scare they use is also bad science to stop fracking.

The Lefty goal of "energy independence" means just the opposite of what it sounds like, just like all Lefty goals.

They goal is to eliminate all domestic sources of energy and make the US completely dependent upon external sources.

Cheap Energy = General Prosperity, and that's the last thing they want.

after a well in Pennsylvania spilled chemical-laced water for two days

And what chemical was it? Was it actually harmful or are the brownshirts just using "chemical" for "danger" all the time now?

Dear Gov. Andrew Cuomo,

The University of Oklahoma graduates several petroleum engineers every semester.

HIRE ONE.

You can hire a Black, Hispanic, Female, Gay one, if it’ll make you feel any better; but hire one and listen to ‘em.

That way, maybe you won’t sound like a FRACing (yes, it’s spelled “FRACing”)IDIOT.

Just trying to help,

A creek was polluted and homes were evacuated.

Sure would like to see an authentic tear down evaluation as to what would have happened if the evacuation wasn't forced upon the residents without the words "could" "May" "possible" or "perhaps" being used.

Thanks Fitzy_888.

I'll probably be proved wrong, but Cuomo -- up till now -- has shown himself to be a pretty pragmatic liberal. He needs tax revenue to pay for the education payola and welfare hand-outs that are demanded by the downstate Democrats.

There's no easier way for him to get that money than from a booming natural gas industry in New York State. This is the first ray of sunshine for upstate's economy in three decades. He'd best figure out a way to mollify the enviro-nazis and keep it going.
