A lot of the basic research that helped us figure out fracking came from the federal government.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Fracking opens up vast tracts of the U.S. to exploitation by gas drillers. There's enough energy under our feet to last us for decades, maybe centuries.
How do we take the bad out of fracking? How do you contain the water? How do we make a profit out of that? Get there early.
Fracking is doable if there's full disclosure of all chemicals used. Secondly, science dictates the policy rather than politics. Third, there's collaboration between environmental groups and the natural gas industry.
Fracking has been used for more than 60 years to successfully drill over a million oil and gas wells in the U.S. Nonetheless, the prevailing mythology on the radical left is that the technology is 'poisoning our children' by polluting the water we drink and the air we breathe.
Fracking has been a real technological change that has caused great innovation in our business, and we've had the benefit of very low gas prices for our customers as a result of that.
I'm not a scientist. If there is a risk to our environment, there will be no fracking.
Hydraulic fracking is very much a necessary part of the future of natural gas.
Fracking is an incredible risk to the human race, I don't know why they even thought of doing it.
I do think actually in this case the government does get credit for funding some of the basic research.
Fracking kills, and it doesn't just kill us. It kills the land, nature and, eventually, the whole world.
