Astounding how much oil we have in this country. Unlike offshore drilling onshore drilling doesn't need a license. My favorite part of the story was on page one 5 paragraph's from the bottom. Reminds me of the Beverly Hillbillies.

at the West Orange street fair today I was stopped and asked to sign a petition to stop the fracking near the Delaware river which I strongly support, so I signed no problem. When asked to sign the national petition to stop fracking all together I said "no thank you", in which the dirty hippie girl responded "you just said fracking is bad, you should sign this one as well" I replied "I am more of a not in my backyard kind of guy" she said "You should care about other people" I said "Nope" that was the end of the conversation, she wouldn't even talk to my girl after that, just awkward silence as I finished signing the Delaware petition and looked over the information at her booth. I love upsetting hippies. I could really make a hobby out of it

 

I studied fracking in an environmental politics class once and I can say it can really fugg up your way of life if it is done close to you, but as long as it isn't it can provide natural gas to light your grill for the summer.

I'm sure that an environmental politics class provided both sides of the argument.

I have to say I usually had to wade through chest deep bs, but this time it was pretty balanced. I am obviously not against fracking, but I know it can fugg up your area, so I'll let it happen somewhere else.
