| Just watched the HBO special on fracking.... (Posted on 12/26/12 at 11:26 pm)
If you really think that the oil and gas industry gives a frick about people and the environment, they don't. They just want to make money. If you think there should be less regulation and just trust companies to do the right things with regard to people and the earth, they won't. Again, they just want to make money. If you work in the industry and need to justify it to support your family, that's fine, I get it. Just don't say they care about people and the earth. They really only care about people and the earth as required by law; and they lobby hard for less laws. This is not a political thread and I can edit the post to include a picture of a hot chick to make it more appropriate for the OT if necessary.

Pretty insightful after watching one documentary, because we all know documentaries are NEVER one sided agenda machines.

Wait, a business that's in it to make money? You don't say. Is this where somebody puts the stats about how much Al Gore's electricity bill is every month at his house in Tennessee to show that there is hypocrisy in the world?

If offshore drilling is so harmful to the environment, why does the ecosystem thrive and wildlife congregate around them?

I live less than 10 miles from the people claiming this in CO. It's well known that they lied to try and get money from Encana.
