Lower energy prices leads to lower prices for goods and services.
Lower prices for goods and services leads to economic growth.
Economic growth leads to higher employment rates.
Higher employment leads to happier, more peaceful, more optimistic people.
Happy, peaceful and optimistic people tend to vote Republican.
Republicans are less inclined to favor large, intrusive government.
The EPA is a large intrusive government agency.
Therefore the EPA can not be happy about issuing this report. .
I read the news article about the results of this examination of Fracking. Said to my wife, gee, first NASA could not find evidence of global warming over the past ten years and now the EPA cannot find a problem with Fracking. I bet there are two changes coming to the administration within a few seconds, a new NASA head probably someone like Al Gore and then one for EPA, probably someone like Julia “butterfly” Hill.
Along the same line, a few years ago El Rushbo said that back in the 1980s the World Health Organization, which is an offshoot of the UN, conducted an exhaustive study of the effects of secondhand smoke in Europe. They were so sure the evidence would be so incriminating that they could use it crush the “filthy habit” of smoking.
However, the study revealed that secondhand smoke, while unpleasant because of the smell, actually has little or no effect on people’s health. Only the actual smoker who inhales the full strength smoke receives detrimental effects from inhaling it. Once the smoke has been inhaled, and then exhaled into the ambient air, it is diluted 1000 times or more, and other than the odor; or the imagined harm from it, which is triggered by the odor, there is little to no actual harm from secondhand smoke.
So the World Health Org. spiked the story, buried the test results, and continues to lie about secondhand smoke by word-of-mouth; urban legend. The test results didn’t fit their narrative.
