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 nations that consume the most fossil fuels also happen to be directly controlled by the Globalists

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.

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.

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