Unfortunately, Hillary is bringing up real issues this time, and I’m saying that through my shoe leather.
Sanders: “I’m cracked so I really shouldn’t be against fracking”.
If you say the word “crack” or “cracked” about Hillary, it opens up all kinds of really nasty things one can say about her, Bill, their mental state and their private lives.
Gee Bill, so now you are calling using a cigar, “fracking”?
Well, FRACK YOU Bernie.
Communists like bernie and pigressives like clinton don’t give a damn about the environment unless it serves them personally.
Their “utopia” is where modern conveniences are made obsolete and having everyone stand in line to get their ration of dung to be burned for cooking and heating purposes.
You can pity a fool, I’d stick with them being evil stupid ****s...
Hillary: ...we've got to regulate everything...
Yep, that pretty well sums up her big-government, power-hungry approach to, well, everything. Regulate it. Get government's greedy little fingers into every pie.
Bernie: ...I talk to scientists who tell me fracking is doing terrible things to water systems all over this country
Gee, that's nice. You can also find an equal or greater number of scientists who say it isn't. Guess you've picked sides on this one though eh? Playing to the base Bernie instead of, oh, I don't know...acting like a leader and advocating what is best for the Country?
When you drill the hole, you grind up rock (that's how the hole is made), and just by the act of drilling through rock with any organics in it (including coal beds), methane is released, whether in small quantities (a couple hundred parts per million in air), or in amounts significant enough to produce at a profit.
In some formations, fraccing is not necessary, in other rock formations, there will not be enough production to make money with the well if the rock isn't hydraulically fractured.
The recent "shale boom" of production from unconventional reservoirs has been the result of the combination of horizontal drilling (exposing miles of wellbore to the producing formation, as opposed to a few feet), and the ability to fracture that low permeability rock to get the gas and/or oil to the surface via a cased (lined with steel pipe which is cemented in place) wellbore.
The production technique (hydraulic fracturing AKA: fraccing) has been around some 80 years.
It is nothing new, and has been the production enhancement technique which will continue to provide gas for a large share of electrical generation, home heat, fuel for cooking, heating water, and even in some instances a motor fuel, not to mention well over a million barrels a day of oil production from the Williston Basin (Bakken/Three Forks) alone.
With the administration's war (using the EPA) on coal-fired electrical generation plants (and coal as a fuel), Natural Gas will be the next fuel of choice for power generation. These wells are good, but they deplete relatively rapidly.
Without that Natural Gas, electricity will be expensive, unreliable, and people who use the gas for heating will not have heat.
This would advance America squarely into the fourth world.
I say fourth world, because in the third world people freely use whatever they can get without the Government demanding they freeze in the dark.
Should either of these bungholes get elected, it will be time to rein in government by whatever means.
Good God if he hadn't given her a pass on the emails he'd be the nominee. If I were a Berner, though ... how in the hell do you exhort each crowd to start a revolution, go full Bolshevik, and then, while you're winning the debate, turn to the biggest political fraud in the past 40 years and shake her slimy hand?
So, now it's two issues. Fracking and local control vs judicial interference.
I paid $1.75 a gallon for gas yesterday. That price is largely due to oil production in this country (fracking) that has increased the amount of oil on the open market, which has caused gas prices to drop affecting the economies and political power of countries like Russia and Middle Eastern countries who are not our friends.
This has been done with Obama, Democrats, and liberals in general being dragged kicking and screaming in protest, though they will no doubt try to take full credit for it.
“”First, we’ve got to regulate everything that is currently underway and we’ve got to have a system in place that prevents further fracking unless conditions like the ones I have mentioned are met.””
And with that statement, Hillary Clinton told America why a Democrat cannot ever again be President.
