(18,652 posts)It does not matter if we're talking about hydrofracking, oil drilling, developing farm and forest land, building more nuke plants, mining, clearcut logging, dragging the ocean floor or overfishing. It does not matter if it's a state or national issue like fracking or if you're trying to get a local land use commission to follow its own environmental regs; it's all the same.
That is why the fracking issue is so big. We MUST come together on this issue if we hope to stop other environmental injustices, too. Fracking is not just a bad practice; it's a symbol of all that's wrong in US environmental and energy policy.
We should sue the hell out of these companies based on the Equal Rights Amendment. Environmentalists have NO equal rights compared to the corporate rapists in all the extraction industries.
