Yeah but I am still paying more since Obummer took office. It will have to drop back down below $2 / gallon to get back to where it was.

I am of the opinion that even if someone proves that fracking causes these minor earthquakes, that it is a better thing. Mainly because these minor quakes work to reduce the plate stresses. Many small quakes instead of one big one.

Sheeperals: We want to feel self-righteous for “saving the erf”, and energy usage damages the erf.

Of course, Obama's Saudi campaign contributions couldn't possibly have any bearing on his preventing development of domestic oil supplies./sarc
