Fracking is an ecological disaster on a scale we have never seen before. It's kind of sad to think that the exact thing that should win Biden the fence sitters is the thing that might cost him those votes. Or it could be that the moderates are flocking to Biden for this and the media are once again bullshitting everyone.

How is it a disaster?

Literally destroying the hard rocks under your cities causes more earthquakes, and more ground shifting. Literally destroying the barrier between ground water and aquifers contaminates the aquifers with whatever gets spilled. Literally pumping millions of gallons of extremely poisonous slurry into the rocks that then get pulverized and leach all that shit into the aquifers literally poisons everyone who uses groundwater. Including farmers and anyone who eats their produce.

It's plain to see how it is a disaster, so if you are still ignorant (no offense) then it's probably because you are gullible enough to believe the shills. There is no shortage of shills who will claim that "it's totally fine". You can take a horse to water but you can't make it drink. I'm sorry if these clear as day facts don't convince you, but I'm so done arguing with shills and fools who claim that it is perfectly safe to drill through and aquifer, pulverize the solid rocks that protected it while pumping it full of the most poisonous chemicals known to man.
