The world needs energy to survive. I personally hope that people will open their minds and research the the newer LFT reactors, or Thorium reactors. They have very little waste, they are extremely safe, and could provide base line power for many centuries. We have had the working tecnology since the 60's, but oil and other groups have lobbied against it.

Fracking is about natural gas tho. Have you seen the documentary Gasland?
This is one thing that puts me off the idea of moving out in the middle of nowhere or to a small town. If our country can't care about a cities water like the size of Flint what hope does anyone have in a smaller town.

My awareness to this, and other related issues, came up during Standing Rock. Since then, I've been watching much more attentively to what's going on.

fracking also damages the aquifers, as i understand. it is an incredibly invasive way of squeezing the last drop out of the earth.

4 years ago our little community achieved a huge success, when months of protecting a planned fracking site resulted in a withdrawal of the company. i was living with a chain & lock on my left hand, just in case we had to stop the machinery from entering.

We'll never get off of it with this administration.

I really hate frackers....
Especially here in W.Pa.
