Don’t worry! Texas just passed a law allowing reclaimed fracking water to irrigate crops. That way everyone can get cancer!
The entire concept of fracking is that you drill into a fissure, then blast it full of a dangerous chemical slurry so that it eventually forces natural gas out of the fissure. Then when all the natural gas is gone, they pack up and leave with their money. The chemical slurry stays in the ground forever, leaching into water tables, public waterways, potentially contaminating soil used for live stock and agriculture.
We literally have a visible ball of unlimited fusion energy in the fucking sky, and natural tides that can power tidal generators, but no, let’s just poison the shit out of everyone for a slightly better profit margin…
Geothermal, wind, tide, hydro, solar… and then even nuclear. All ways to just create unlimited energy. But, because the elite enslave us to the status quo, through the jobs that keep it going… here we are.
The cheaper energy becomes, the more of a threat it is to literally all of the world’s heirarchies of power. The people at the top that benefit most from these heirarchies and who have the most control are also the most disincentivized from finding a solution that makes energy cheaper for all.
is this not common knowledge?
Kinda? I mean you would think so but they spend millions on propaganda.
It’s common sense, but obfuscated by those still spending millions to deny climate change while the world literally burns around us. Gaslighting is a hell of a propaganda technique.
yea, but cancer = more medical bills. that’s just a bonus add-on to the oil profits
you see, it raises the GDP!!!
that’s BS there’s plenty of studies that shows how fracking is very healthy (for the shareholders)
Good luck finding land that is not near fracking sites. It’s been done basically everywhere, right?
yes and no. You would like to do it in relatively cheap and less populated area, and where cracks are a bit closer to surface (you do not want to drill a lot, as that would not be economically beneficial)
Adding more data to a conclusion every reasonable person knows has been happening for far too long.
