@edgarblythe,
On one level, I guess it stands to reason that I would disagree with the Far Left.
But.... What is he thinking?
Fracking is hardly an environmental disaster. The impact is minimal. Further, fracking is what is leading the fight against global warming. If not for fracking, we would still be consuming large amounts of coal.
It is certainly a good idea to generate as much as possible from renewable sources, but they simply are not going to be able to provide the entire power supply. The rest of the power supply is going to come from nuclear, from fracking, or from coal. And if it is not coming from nuclear or fracking, it
will be coal.
And coal is what is causing global warming.
Israel has done their utmost to make peace with the Palestinians, only to be met with aggression and mind games. To reward Palestinian aggression and to stab Israel in the back for doing the right thing would simply be obscene.
The US has entered into lots of trade treaties and doing so does not void US sovereignty. Having the Asian region trading according to the US system of ethics will be FAR preferable to having the Asian region trading according to the Chinese government's system of ethics.
