These issues are serious and at best only partially solvable . On the plus side, natural gas (aka methane) is cleaner than coal or oil. It is said that natural gas is a bridge fuel between fossil fuels and solar & wind. On the negative side fracking appears to cause earth quakes, leak lots of methane and have toxic by products - just like coal and oil.

While my home state of Montana has far fewer electors and only 2 Senators and 1 Congress person. These problems will probably have a lot to do with who represents us in DC, who is our Governor, and to whom our few electors are pleged for president.

Unfortunately I don't think retraining of displaced fossil fuel workers will solve the problem. Many of the people I know who work in the jobs likely to be phased out didn't like school and dropped out as soon as they learned they could make big money in the coal mines or the oil fields. Even people who love learning but are over 50 are not going to want to invest a a lot of time training for a new career that they will only keep until they retire. Of course, no matter how enthusiastic retrained workers may be they are apt to be forced by events to move away from communities to which they are deeply committed.

The calculus now has to be about the environment. We already know what fracking does to that.

Sanders wants to end fracking but he also wants a meaningful jobs and training program and transition funding for displaced workers. That's the correct calculus. There are lots of good paying jobs to replace ones lost to shutting down the fossil fuel industry.

Fracking is poisoning our earth and need sdcc to be banned

I'm from the Philly area, and am acutely aware of the strange politics of my state. John Fetterman is a decent guy, a progressive, who wants what we all want: to defeat DT in November.

If you don't have a here and now, it's really hard to be greatly concerned about the future.
