FYI.
If liberals had their way, nobody would be in the game at all.

If you interested in Fracking a must read was the story over at NR yesterday about PA and how the State EPA, has gotten it right and how industry has too...
It is a long read but it was very well written and fascinating tidbits on the multiple technologies that make it happen...

this isn’t a Transformers movie, this is The Play, and Boy Genius is a member of the startlingly youthful and bespectacled tribe of engineers swarming out of the University of Pittsburgh and the Colorado School of Mines and Penn State and into the booming gas fields of Pennsylvania, where the math weenies are running the show in the Marcellus shale, figuring out how to relentlessly suck a Saudi Arabia’s worth of natural gas out of a vein of hot and impermeable rock thousands of feet beneath the green valleys of Penn’s woods. Forget about your wildcatters, your roughnecks, your swaggering Texans in big hats: The nerds have taken over.
Thanks for that!!!
I had a miniscule involvement with this industry as an entry-level pup back around '80.
Alas, other things beckoned .. if I could have my youth back, I'd sell the woodshop and head back to the rigs.
Anyway, here's the priceless concluding paragraph, following on from a general unmasking of the enviro-marxist luddite gospel:
But we can’t really debate the course of modern technological civilization with people who are opposed to modern technological civilization per se, your mostly middle-class and expensively miseducated (and forgive me for noticing but your overwhelmingly white) types afflicted with the ennui of affluence, who suddenly take a fancy to the idea that life might be lived more authentically with a bone in one’s nose and a trip to the neighborhood shaman — the shaman who might, if the spirits smile upon him, initiate you into the ancient mysteries of the burning spring.
Yes and the Shaman that wants to be the pass through, burning spring or not. The mystery of his sun panel, the plug in moving thingee to move the proletariat, all at his teet. But we know different.
We can dig the hole and get the magic ourselves, it was G_d's gift, not the Shaman's or his Kobe Eating Wife...
