So fracking is the new movement to combat global warming.

Trade your coal in for earth quake insurance. WTF are the richies wanting now? Mo money that's what. Nothing matters to them but money, not even their kids, grandkids or the planet.

Irresponsible fracking is a real problem of course, and solar/wind/geothermal are superior, cleaner technologies in the long term. But in the situations he was talking about, for the less developed and highly populated counties? It'll make a big difference. It's the best first step. Of course with these energy companies at the helm it's probably too much to hope that they won't screw it all to hell.

warming, and more money saying fracking is the answer. The billions of profit to the oil industry and their underwater black plumes, auto and single family home emissions weren't even mentioned. Just buy some earthquake insurance and put your head between your legs as it is already too late. Welcome to DU.
