A short comment about Hillary's response to fracking from last night's debate...

[seekthetruth]

I found it very interesting that Hillary had a rather extensive, scenario-dependent answer to whether fracking is a sound approach to solving our energy needs.

Sanders' response was quite to the point and telling of how he would govern. A simple "No".

My vote lies with Sanders, whether he's the nominee or not. I just can't support a "progressive" candidate who is willing to enable and support such a hazardous and dangerous practice such as fracking.

1. Yes. A simple answer is all that is needed.

The only people who benefit from fracking are those who personally profit from it. The risk of ground water contamination, earthquakes, and God knows what else SHOULD make the answer to this question easy for anyone else.

Hillary can't stand the thought of condemning something that she may be able to work to her advantage.

3. Hedging her bets

--not really confronting the question. Meanwhile green light for the abominable destruction called fracking.
