In the world they live in, everybody knows that fracking is dangerous and destructive. Of course it’s not the real world, and facts are irrelevant.

OR, there is another possibility. Perhaps these people would rather live in a world where the USA’s energy needs can only be met by those who want to destroy us.

Stupid or Evil? You be the judge.

“Environmental Florida” and their sister organization,
“Environment Florida Research & Policy Center” - are tree hugger’s wet dream. Lots of anti-fracking articles there:

http://www.environmentflorida.org/
and
http://www.environmentfloridacenter.org/ (globull warming fans - staff of one, Elizabeth Ouzts, who seems to be all over the environmental map in many states, not just Florida)

Dunno who is behind them but with “policy center” in the name, you can bet the farm it will be the Lefties, with probably the sugar interests not far behind.

They “frack” shale because it’s not permeable.

Limestone is so permeable it is prone to sinkholes. It comes from the factory pre-fracked. An oil company interested in wasting a tremendous amount of money for no good reason might decide to do it here, but it’s unlikely.

My comments were based on a prior poster and then that poster’s comment being negated. You have informed me and based on this evidence I have no argument.

I will say however im skeptical of all politicians no matter party. I am heavy conservative. 5 years in The Corps and you can smell a hint of B.S. amongst many.

Of your linked posts, only one was a serious anti-Bachmann poster, and he posted two of your links.

The whole premise was overblown about people "hating" on her (my words, but that was the idea expresed). Mostly people were bored. She was a great congress critter, a good conservative in most ways, but a poor presidential candidate. Probably a nice lady as well.

I thought we were talking about folks not accepting drilling in the Everglades, not focused on a hate of Bach Mann.

I was responding to someone who used it as a remembrance of the "Bachmann haters" on FR......

Sorry you didn't notice.

I'm all for drilling everywhere, including under my beloved Lake Michigan.

Its amazing how many FReepers discovered their inner tree hugger to attack Bachmann

I guess we focused on different parts of the same sentence.

Cheers.
