Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro blasted the United States Wednesday for its large-scale use of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, saying it is flooding the market with oil produced with environmentally destructive methods.
The United States, one of the world's biggest practitioners of fracking, a controversial technique that involves pumping a pressurized fluid - usually composed of water, sand and chemicals - into a shale formation to create a fracture in the rock layer and release trapped petroleum or natural gas - has used that technology to double oil output to 8.5 million barrels per day in six years.

Oooh! CHEMICALS!
I read in Rolling Stone that the “chemicals” are equal parts plutonium, dioxin, and DDT.

You know the world is a better place when foreign countries are jealous and resentful of us in public. For almost six years we’ve been mocked and ridiculed by our enemies. Hopefully, in twenty-five months we’ll have a president who will inspire us again and one the world will think twice about tangling with on the world stage.
