In reply to the discussion: I wouldn't blame Hillary if she moved to Canada. [View all]"but you've always been someone who attempts to instigate division whenever possible. This just an observation from an outsider. "
Considering I've only been here since like September, I'm flattered I'm so memorable I guess.
"She did not call for an entire end to the carbon energy economy, she wanted to continue to allow fracking in red states (where the most public lands and most beautiful ones are anyway), and her infrastructure/jobs policy was a joke. "
Her position on fracking isn't simplistic, that's for sure. And she wants to impose greater regulations. "no to fracking" sounds great if you want to ignore the economic realities
Ohio and PA are major natural gas producers, both use fracking as their primary means of extracting natural gas. PA is a MAJOR natural gas producer because of it..
Fracking is also responsible for the uptick in our production of crude oil Like it or not , Fracking is also why we're on our way to energy sufficiency and why gas prices have fallen.
Also, this should be of interest to you: http://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=21392
do I like the idea of fracking and fossil fuel extraction? No I don't. I can't wait for renewables to set off, but I won't ignore the effects of hitting an industry where hundreds of thousands of jobs are on the line. So I'm gonna side with Clinton and Obama on this one.
Everything else you typed is ranting and antagonistic spin.
And isn't it great how I've replied to you and have yet to respond in kind to you with insults.

She would also get universal healthcare and a VERY liberal federal/provincial government.
