Is anyone talking about the war on methane yet? It could kill fracking if zero gets the epa to raise the acceptable levels.

They have already shut down most coal plants now the game is to shut down fracking all together.
Hard to say hom much success they will have.
If they are successful all that will happen is other countries will do fracking and get the benefits. We won't. It’s all part of the regimes plan to destroy the US.
Epa needs to be defunded 100% its killing the economy.

You’re right. I would say that the EPA did a great job cleaning up the country, as nobody—including conservatives— wants to see polluted streams, smell garbage along the streets and roads of the land, or breath dirty air.

So why don’t we declare that the EPA met their mandate, and since the job got done; thanks and go home?

Because now they have changed from a helpful agency of all the people to an imposer of the agenda of radical green environmentalism who only represent a fragment of our society.

So often such is the way of government. Long after they have met the goals of what they were set up to do, they begin making rules and regulations to keep themselves in power and paycheck.

I don’t think methane will make any more problems than CO2 has. It’s all BS. The left is getting desperate.

What I don’t quite understand is why we should support the Keystone XL Pipeline when the price of oil is so low that it is beginning to put US fracking companies out of business. I have heard the argument that even though a lot of the Canadian oil passing through our land will be exported, we should support it because it will help bring down world oil prices. But lower oil prices threaten to really hurt our own fracking industry. ????
