It looks like whoever wins in 2016 we're going to be fucked because we're going to be fracked.
Food and Water Watch has done extensive research on the dangers of Fracking:
Fracking is a danger that touches on every aspect of our lives – the water we drink, the air we breathe, the health of our communities. It also accelerates climate change. Fracking carries unavoidable risks; the oil and gas industry profits at the expense of the communities they frack.
We have the existential crisis of climate change on our hands and we're not even addressing it as we consider our presidential candidates for 2016.
As far as the republican candidates we can be sure that whoever they put forward will be a fracking champion. Forget about the far right loonies even their so called moderate candidates such as Jeb Bush will not deviate from their support of all things business and private such as support for fracking while at the same time profiting from it.
So let's look at our side: Hillary Clinton. Is there anyone else? Seriously, she's taken the oxygen out of the room and is left standing alone. So let's look at Hillary's fracking credentials; she's a mega supporter of fracking, and in fact, her State Department sold fracking to the world. Her lips are sealed on Keystone XL pipeline. Why? Could it be she wants to remain above the fray, or just wants her options open?
So where does this leave our planet? For answer, read the title.
