Hillary Clinton is a strong proponent of fracking. While working for the taxpayers as Secretary of State, she used her office as Sec of State to convince foreign governments to begin or increase their use of fracking in spite of the protesting peoples in those countries.
Clinton urged Bulgarian officials to give fracking another chance. According to Borissov, she agreed to help fly in the "best specialists on these new technologies to present the benefits to the Bulgarian people." But resistance only grew. The following month in neighboring Romania, thousands of people gathered to protest another Chevron fracking project, and Romania's parliament began weighing its own shale gas moratorium. Again Clinton intervened, dispatching her special envoy for energy in Eurasia, Richard Morningstar, to push back against the fracking bans. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/22/global-protests-fracking-globalfrackdown_n_1905034.html
Time and again she sides with corporations over People.
