Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro blasted the United States Wednesday for its large-scale use of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, saying it is flooding the market with oil produced with environmentally destructive methods.

The United States, one of the world's biggest practitioners of fracking, a controversial technique that involves pumping a pressurized fluid - usually composed of water, sand and chemicals - into a shale formation to create a fracture in the rock layer and release trapped petroleum or natural gas - has used that technology to double oil output to 8.5 million barrels per day in six years.

Listen to this guy whine. Its such a beautiful thing. Venezula is going to go through another civil war in the near future if things continue as they are.

Oooh! CHEMICALS!

I read in Rolling Stone that the “chemicals” are equal parts plutonium, dioxin, and DDT.

You know the world is a better place when foreign countries are jealous and resentful of us in public. For almost six years we’ve been mocked and ridiculed by our enemies. Hopefully, in twenty-five months we’ll have a president who will inspire us again and one the world will think twice about tangling with on the world stage.

[Maelstorm]

Hahaha Yeah.

Why doesn’t Venezuela just stop oil exports?

[Maelstorm]

Yes! Let them have their empires of dirt. :-)

[Paladin2]

Venezuela has vineyards? A Dairy Industry (for the cheese)?

[Maelstorm]

That’s the countries primary source of $. They stop and its game over for them. The government will collapse.

Socialism needs $?

That's not what Bammy thinks....
