I’ll cut him a little slack on this issue. If a fair and honest technical evaluation is made, I’m sure it will show there’s no risk to drinking water from fracking, and then he’ll have all the evidence he needs to throw the whole thing out. It may be part of a strategery because a lot of the anti-fracking stuff is based on Algore-like “science”, and maybe Christie is playing the long game here.
The evidence is in already. Texas has been fracking wells for well over a decade with no ill effects from it. North Dakota is fracking like crazy in the Bakken, Pennsylvania in the Marcellus, Louisana in the Hayneville, etc. etc. etc. Christie is an east coast ‘conservative’ otherwise known as RINO.
He loves the attention and great press from the liberal MSM media, but is his views on global warming and taxes are way to the left of most of the conservatives in this country. He had a great week, raising tolls and banning fracking.
I won't. Fracking has been studied to death, both by the federal government (which surprisingly found it safe) and by numerous states. I admire Christie for reining in state spending, but I don't think he knows any more about business than Obama.
He is a lawyer, after all.
