Hillary's Energy Initiative Pressed Countries to Embrace Fracking

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Uh-oh, the enviro-weenies are going to be in a pickle over this one.

Back in April, just before the New York primary, Hillary Clinton’s campaign aired a commercial on upstate television stations touting her work as secretary of state forcing “China, India, some of the world’s worst polluters” to make “real change.” She promised to “stand firm with New Yorkers opposing fracking, giving communities the right to say ‘no.’”

The television spot, which was not announced and does not appear on the official campaign YouTube page with most of Clinton’s other ads, implied a history of opposition to fracking, here and abroad. But emails obtained by The Intercept from the Department of State reveal new details of behind-the-scenes efforts by Clinton and her close aides to export American-style hydraulic fracturing — the horizontal drilling technique best known as fracking — to countries all over the world.

Is Trump against fracking?

I doubt it, but environmentalists aren't his constituency are they. Kind of a dumb question.

So how is Hillary hurt if she's tepid against fracking? I mean, once she gets to the general.

So she's weak if she's anti-coal, and also weak if she's pro-fracking?

How does that work?

intelligent people who respect the environment are rational not to like fracking. this is old news, though. she liked fracking as a go-between between where we were and where we'll be.

but thanks for your concern. given that you don't care about the environment, anyway.

and here's a hint, we're still not voting for trump the pig.

Trump's comical set of positions are

1. He vigorously endorses fracking.

2. He's going revitalize the coal industry.

lol, fracking and the resultant cheap natural gas are what's killing coal right now.
