2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Where does Hillary stand on fracking these days [View all]Sancho
(9,065 posts)25. Over the last decade or two, any thinking human has "changed positions".
Hillary has been appropriately reactive to new information and changing times - and always reflected progressive values.
That's what I expect of thoughtful leaders.
No one had a position on fracking in the 60s or 70s - because there was no fracking. Even now, the technology for all energy production - fossil fuels, nuclear, solar, wind, etc. change fairly rapidly. There is no "position" that won't change except that people and the environment should be protected.
