Fracking is destroying the planet to make a few billionaires who hate us rich.

What is it that makes fracking so 'terrible' for the environment?

Oil is what fuels globalization, fatness, people being separated from nature, and multiculturalism.

Okay, and what is replacing it as a power source? Fossil fuels are the life blood of the entire modern world. There isn't really a viable replacement except for nuclear power.

Oil consumption is very dirty from the burning of oil to the enormous amount of water required, to chemicals used fracking is very dirty. Just the methane leaking from fracking is a huge problem.

Fossil fuels are the life blood of the entire modern world.

The places that consume the most oil are the gayest, most multicultural and the most feminist. Good times create weak men and the oil age makes us very weak and dependent on a finite fuel source that will run out.

Nuclear and solar would be much better options.

Sounds like you've been listening to Gasland. That documentary made alot of misleading claims about fracking. You shouldn't take it as some gospel.

Underground water aquifers cannot really get contaminated because they are usually no more than 100-200 feet deep. In contrast, hydraulic fracturing takes place at depths of several thousand feet. There is no way for the fluid to leak up to the surface against gravity and contaminate a water aquifer. Also, the claim that there are lots of harmful chemicals used in fracking is really misleading. 99.5% of the fluid used in fracking is just water and sand, with the remainder being ordinary chemicals that can be found in a kitchen.

It is also not true that fracking uses up such huge amounts of water that it causes entire states to experience droughts (!). In Texas, only 1% of water use is for fracking, and in the U.S. only 0.3% is used for fracking: Thats less water than is used by golf courses. The claim that fracking releases huge amounts of methane (a greenhouse gas) into the atmosphere has been refuted in numerous studies.

The Five Myths About Fracking

Fracking Mythbusters

The places that consume the most oil are the gayest, most multicultural and the most feminist.

The nations that consume the most fossil fuels also happen to be directly controlled by the Globalists. Don't confuse correlation with causation. The Elites are the ones who are directly responsible for promoting and enforcing GloboHomo. Fossil fuels are merely an energy source.

Good times create weak men and the oil age makes us very weak and dependent on a finite fuel source that will run out.

Yes. And thats why civilisation needs to deal with the deadweight that is the overpopulated 3rd world. They are useless eaters who contribute nothing, but require many scarce resources to sustain. Civilisation must keep its population at a realistic level, and move over to a more sustainable source of energy such as nuclear fission and fusion.

The big problem with fracking is that it takes oil out of the ground at whatever that oil is used for is a disaster for the environment. Burning oil is awful, making plastics with it is awful. We need to get off oil. Fracking is very expensive and an energy intensive way to produce an already extremely dirty product.

A 2015 study estimated that North Texas’ Barnett Shale region leaked 544,000 tons of methane a year using a conservative leakage rate of 1.5 percent. That’s equivalent to 46 million tons of CO2, more than some states such as Nevada or Connecticut.

The oil is what allows for globalism. Before oil things were much more local since transport was difficult. With the oil age it became possible to dump wages by moving production to China and transporting goods half way around the world.

They are a problem but we still emit a lot in the west.
