When did the consumers now ever care about the future Rex?
If fracking is not done there are two choices. One is to not do the things this home produced energy allows, encourages or even demands to be done, or to buy energy on world markets to replace it.
Can you suggest another option?
How can uninformed and deceived consumers care about the right things?
I can suggest an option
Okay, and I know this is a novel idea (not) but, we could stop giving billions in subsidies to dirty energy, shut off the big oil lobbyists and invest HEAVILY in clean energy... But why do that 'cuz it might solve American's energy problems for may years to come and actually save consumers down the road (cynical)? Once the dirty energy companies have absconded with the record profits and left their mess for consumers/tax payers to deal with FOR CENTURIES, what other recourse will we have but to pay out AGAIN to restore our earth back to wholeness?
There is NOTHING CHEAP about dirty energy. Relying on dirty energy is like using a chainsaw to perform heart surgery.
We are better off importing the extra needed energy than marring the land irreparably... Many alternative clean energy sources have not even been tried due to dirty energy lobbyists and crooked GOP politicians.
Like hemp for fuel?
Hemp Energy: Sounds like a joke, but it’s not!

Clean energy, still in its infancy due to our crooked GOP politicians, dirty energy and their unscrupulous blood money.
Clean energy was the way to go many years ago but we were told "by dirty energy" it was not feasible and could never supply our needs.
THIS was a LIE!
