The most insane being that fracking causes earthquakes. It doesnt. The speaker in that talk admitted that earthquakes are sometimes triggered by the underground injection of drilling fluids.
So it's not that actual fracking that is causing the noticeable increase in earthquakes in some areas. But when leftover drilling fluids and salt water from fracking operations or other types of oil and gas drilling are injected underground, that can trigger earthquakes.

All oil bearing formations begin depleting when the first drop of oil is removed from the formation.
No doubt the producers will improve their techniques, but it is inevitable that the shale formations will deplete.
Meanwhile, the cost of renewable energy continues to fall. Everytime you double the number of solar panels, the price of solar power falls by 26%. Everytime you double the number of windmills, the price of wind power falls by 17%.

They can only trigger earthquakes if there is already some kind of pressure build-up underground. One could argue that triggering quakes before the pressure increases to the point of letting off a natural quake decreases the intensity of the quake. Kind of like controlled burns help to decrease the damage of forest fires.
The moon’s gravitational pull triggers earthquakes, too.

Bush held the line on the 2nd Amendment. For that alone I am grateful. At that time I believed we could let the commie bastards do anything else and later we could unscrew it. Now I know this ain’t true. Zero has proven they can break things that cannot be fixed.

The world wide political status quo where arab oil money buys Western politicians is deeply disturbed by American exceptionalism again.

Per your#4: I blame our crony news media for putting blinders on Joe Public by purposely not vetting our politicians.

Oh dear, what a shame!
But I'm sure that's why Obama and Merkel are desparate to flood the West with their foot-soldiers before Saudi Arabia implodes.

It's an interesting theory, but I think it presupposes much more foresight than anyone in the Saudi ruling class has-shale was less than 1% of U.S. gas production at the start of the 21st century.
It was more likely a power play by Bandar and his clique to cement their hold on power and elevate them over claimants to the throne.

That's why our globalist traitors in conjunction with the Communist America haters in the Dem party, are desperately trying to seal the borders open.
It worked so WELL with illegal Mexicans, that they are doubling down, worldwide, with jihadists.

The choice was between two globalists, there was no way to win. Between Bush and Gore, it was a no-brainer.
This is the sort of choice that is the hallmark of "fake democracies" around the world. The popular vote is then used to legitimize the advance of globalism, and all the other workings of the utterly corrupt government.

Selling out American sovereignty to "the new world order" and trying to post-turtle ¿Jeb? on us, counts as being a traitor in my book.
