Clinton's Fracking:What is her position? [View all]

Look, I'm not going to bash Clinton here. I will just let her own words be the deciding factor for those that read this post. I will say this though, I actually would prefer her over any of the republicans, but it's hard for me to support any candidate that adopts this position on fracking.

"An investigation by Mother Jones found that Hillary Clinton personally lobbied for U.S. fracking rights overseas as secretary of state. Speaking at a 2010 conference of foreign ministers, Clinton said, “I know that in some places [it] is controversial, but [shale] gas is the cleanest fossil fuel available for power today."

For some of us Sanders is the only viable environmental solution we have left. A new study out says climate change is happening even faster than we thought. Here is a link from the Gaurdian. http://gu.com/p/4hdqe?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

All I am asking is for the persons that support Clinton, hold your own candidates feet to the fire on this issue. I won't let Bernie get away with anything less than a total ban, I want my kids to have an inhabitable planet. I also hope that people that support Bernie, also take this stance. Zero fracking.

Thanks
