In reply to the discussion: Where does Hillary stand on fracking these days [View all]Sancho
(9,067 posts)I cannot remember any candidate for President who has been more thoughtful and detailed about policy.
There's lots of bashing and misinformation. Hillary sometimes gives accurate responses that don't "satisfy" critics. For example, she was clear that trade agreements might sometimes require controls on monetary manipulation even though other parts of the trade agreements were ok.
That's the same with fracking. As long as the fracking technology can be done without polluting the environment, then natural gas would be a transition source away from coal and towards alternative sources. What's hard to understand about it? Some people seem to think we should such down all fossil fuels tomorrow and buy a horse - and that's unlikely to happen. In reality, there has to be a transition to new sources of energy.
I'm not sure why it's so hard to understand.
