How many candidates are not talking about banning fracking, and why?

3. No surprise here.

IF:
- we did not have a capitalist system that operates on primacy of the shareholder, and
- our politicians weren't afraid of losing their bid for reelection if they come out against fracking, and
- we can cast out the bought-and-paid-for pseudo-scientific 'reports' the oil companies come out with to say fracking's safe...

IF we could have our elected officials that supposedly represent us and our interests actually DO that, we would have an energy policy akin to AOC's Green New Deal that would put this country in a leading position in transforming the world to run on renewable energy.

But, so many lobbies. There's a guy on here who sometimes posts that there is enough depleted uranium to supply all of our energy needs for the next hundred years through a fission process.

Colorado has committed to 900,000 plug in cars on the road by 2035, with all the attendant opportunity to build out infrastructure and all the new jobs that will entail, and Xcel, Colorado's energy company, has committed to being 85% carbon free by 2035 and 100% carbon free by 2050.
