Hillary and Fracking

Hillary Clinton: Natural Gas Plays “A Critical Role in Reducing CO2 and Other Pollutants”

“Hillary Clinton is committed to making America the world’s clean energy superpower and meeting the climate change challenge. Domestically produced natural gas can play an important role in the transition to a clean energy economy, creating good paying jobs and careers, lowering energy costs for American families and businesses, and reducing air pollution that disproportionately impacts low income communities and communities of color.” (emphasis added)

“I don’t support a moratorium,” she said. “I think the responsible production and use of the Marcellus Shale gas is actually part of the secret sauce as to how we will create jobs and how we will compete and win.”

Her advocacy for fracking shows her more tied to the past and its plutocrats than to planning for our future.

Methane is WORSE than CO2.

It's yet another example of that classic Clinton deception. Others include:

Making college "affordable" instead of "available".

Providing universal health "coverage" instead of health "care".

These are lies, no matter how much people don't want to admit it. These weasel-words are chosen very carefully in order to deceive voters.

Not THIS voter!

"I don't support [fracking] when any locality or any state is against it, number one. I don't support it when the release of methane or contamination of water is present. I don't support it, number three, unless we can require that anybody who fracks has to tell us exactly what chemicals they are using. So by the time we get through all of my conditions, I do not think there will be many places in America where fracking will continue to take place. And I think that's the best approach, because right now, there places where fracking is going on that are not sufficiently regulated." -Hillary Clinton

"My answer is a lot shorter: No, I do not support fracking." -Bernie Sanders
