The Greens want fossil fuels abandoned and should just be honest about that, and argue why they want that. The thrust of the policies on energy, industry and transport is to make petroleum based products unaffordable and/or illegal.Libertyscotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12741049550997300680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-86795020051462357612012-11-28T19:22:01.079+13:002012-11-28T19:22:01.079+13:00There have been over 1.1 million frac jobs in the ...There have been over 1.1 million frac jobs in the US in the past 60 years, to bring some context to the statement by the US EPA.<br /><br />Unfortunately misinformation is all pervasive. TV One last night used the footage from Gasland of the man able to light his faucet. Unfortunately for the environmentalists, this has been completely discredited and unrelated to fraccing. And Hughes' comment on soil contamination is specious: this has absolutely nothing to do with fraccing as it was standard practice in the industry to flow back wells to earthen pits, fracced or not. I'm well familiar with the pits in question.Daddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01922433757298738859noreply@blogger.com
