Fracking

Redpill me on fracking. Do the benefits outweigh the detriments?

there is no detriments to fracking really.

Yes, it has allowed the US to decrease it's reliance on foreign sources of crude oil. US oil imports from the Persian gulf have been halved since 2012.

Yes.
American jobs.
Resource independence.
Lower commodity prices across the board since everything relies on oil at some point.
Lets you fuck with Saudi Arabia and there is nothing they can do about it.

Yes, it's cheaper and less damaging to the environment than offshore drilling.
Remember the BP oil spill? Fracking is a safe alternative.

Fracking has reduced our carbon emissions due to it making natural gas cheaper and more abundant than coal. It would be beyond retarded to ban it.

fracking works fine if done properly.

when done improperly because the kikes are trying to save a couple of shekels then you run into problems.

>beyond retarded to ban it.
maybe if you totally ignore the increased risk of earthquakes and potential poisoned groundwater, which would fuck up entire ecosystems... it'd be beyond retarded to do that though

fracking is garbage technology for short term gains. it ends up wrecking local water tables and destabilizing foundation soils. its the energy equivalent of the side of the ice cream bowl....

licking the sides.....
