MotherJones: "How Hillary Clinton's State Department Sold Fracking to the World"

[Triana]

87. I dislike Hillary's doing this but still lay the blame for fracking on Cheney.

FRACKING was invented by Halliburton and foisted on the American People by an "energy policy" written by them along with other big oil, coal, and gas companies. Excluded from those meetings were the public, climate scientists, renewable energy companies, and environmentalists. Presided over by DICK CHENEY, former CEO of the damned vile aforementioned corporation, he saw to it that this darling new fracking technology was EXEMPT from the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts in the US.

Could it be that Ms. Clinton was doing her job as ordered by Barack Obama and his "all of the above" energy strategy, to push this crap as Secy of State? Maybe. Or maybe she truly believes it's a good thing.

Besides clean air and clean water laws, fracking has few other regulations governing its processes either - because the technology was developed before any regulations could be written and the oil/gas companies who want to do the dirty business so strongly resist regulation. I noticed that in several of the articles, at the very least Hillary states that strong regulations should be put in place to protect natural resources and local communities. That is not the case now, today. And, of course that could be just empty promises of a politician.

Did SHE personally profit from pushing fracking around the world?

God knows DICK CHENEY did.
