...According to Pew, (click here) support for fracking stood at 48 percent in March of 2013, versus 38 percent opposition. But as of November 2014, Americans have flipped their position: 41 percent now favor the process while 47 percent oppose it. And while support fell across all demographic groups, the biggest drops — all 10 percentage points or more — occurred among women, voters under age 49, those with some college education, Midwesterners, and independent voters. Women already opposed the fossil fuel extraction process by one percentage point in March of 2013, but for every other one of those groups, the change flipped them from decisive approval to decisive opposition....
American politicians have lied about the dangers of fracking. They have lied to people in their foreign policy as well. Fracking not only poison's water it develops seismic activity. The American politicians have lied for one reason only, funding for politics.
What I find interesting is the fact the USA can now export oil and gas when no one needs it because of the American fracking policy abroad. Odd. Where is the market stability when exporting American petroleum assets leads to a crash in it's stock value. See, when American policy conflicts like this there is a real danger in economic implosion. Greed is a terrible thing.
