It's not so much the natural gas emissions they don't like about Fracking. It's about what it does to the surrounding environment.

It's like how back in the day, when people were mining for coal, they would blow the tops of mountains and the slag and all the toxic bullshit would run into the creeks and water and poison it.

I'm not against Fracking, but it is pretty harsh on the environment. It's really toxic.

Any source of energy production is harsh on the environment, whether it's using a wood stove to heat your home or plugging a Tesla into a power plant that burns coal.

If anyone comes up with a plan that doesn't involve massive distribution of wealth and social justice, I'm all ears.

Carbon based fuel has lifted more people across the globe out of poverty than any other single factor in our human existence.

I'm a proponent of clean air, but when gasoline prices go through the roof, who's going to pay the price? The working stiff who can't afford a Tesla.
