Fracking was killing America's water supply. Never understood why trump backed it. They pump toxic waist into those wells. There are plenty of documentaries and articles and web sites started by the people who have no usable water. Hate biden with every fiber of my being but don't disagree with banning Fracking.

Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is perhaps the most important energy discovery in the last half century. As a result of fracking, U.S. production of oil and natural gas has increased dramatically. This increase has abruptly lowered energy prices, strengthened energy security and even lowered air pollution and carbon dioxide emissions by displacing coal in electricity generation. The lower energy prices have meant more money in the pockets of American families and businesses. And the lower emissions is certainly good news for our health with large reductions in air pollution dispersed across the country and, at least for the near term, our climate. They have tons and tons of regulations but its the reason shit is still cheap ( but I understand where your coming from)

Now the pipeline i don't understand. Canada has shit tons of oil and they almost exclusively sell to us and not to China at all. China imports almost all of the oil they use. This pipeline was created so Canada can quickly export oil to the US and lower carbon emissions that would normally use thousands of trucks to export. Doing this they pissed off Canada they can easily cut us out and sell to China for a higher price. The people that had the pipeline built promised they would spend 1.7bill on renewable energy and would employ massive amounts of people. This was a bipartisan decision im not sure why biden ended it.

We will likely have our answer on January 27th because that is the day Biden has scheduled for climate related EOs. No idea what to expect in clown world.

I was for pipe line. Have relatives who have toxic and flammable water coming from their taps. It also is coming out of a once pristine natural spring that feeds there lake. All the fish have died and all the vegetation in the lake is dead too Is cheap natural gas worth it. Fracking only produces natural gas. So it doesn't effect gasoline prices. If they captured all the methane produced by landfills instead of burning it off it would make up for 35 percent of the output of Fracking.

If you do a search for dangers of fracking there is tons of info. Of course lots of it is bieng suppressed by gag orders. If they could do it in an environmentally safe way that would completely change my views on it. But they are using it to dump toxic waste. Doubling there profits. I had no clue because the msm won't cover it "wonder why " before it happened to someone i know.
