End fracking in 5 years.

Not just Ohio and Pennsylvania.

The Dems have been salivating over flipping Texas blue by pandering to Hispanics. Fracking becomes an issue and I guarantee Texas gets redder.

Not sure any of them have a chance of winning Ohio anyways

State flipped the most total votes red in the country from 2012 election to 2016 election and is almost as red as possible for its population size

That is just flat out ignorant

I own a 1.6 acre plot in a dirt poor small town in the Eagle Ford Shale region of Texas. I don’t live there and haven’t seen it in about 5 years. The town is probably 75% Hispanic with a high poverty rate. When fracking caught up with my area about 5 years ago, I received about a $13,000 signing bonus for a royalty agreement. Over the next year I received about $6000 in royalties. Since then it has dropped to about $200 a month. Everyone in that town has been receiving money for oil royalties. At the peak I couldn’t find anyone I could pay to mow the vacant lot. Everyone was working in the oil fields or driving trucks for the companies serving the oil fields. Do you think the poor Hispanic population there that receives a royalty payment every month, even if it is small by our standards, wants fracking to end? The democrats don’t realize how many people this will affect. It isn’t just people in the oil business, it’s individuals in poor communities. Their businesses depend on the fracking and they directly receive monthly payments.

Insanity that they would consider completely ending it.

The President doesn't have that power. Sure they could impose administrative level regulations to harm the industry but a lot of what these dem nominees are spouting is bullshite that won't ever happen and they know it.

I didn't watch. Did Bloomy or Klob even challenge the communists on this?

They both said the same thing that it is a transient energy. We need to use it until green tech is developed to be cost and energy efficient. Which I would say is the correct answer. I think we all wished we could power everything will clean and renewable energy with high efficiency and low cost but the technology is not there.

Elizabeth Warren gave some spiel about how we aren't going to have a habitable planet and that she believes in science and that we will come up with something that will fix climate change and create over a million manufacturing jobs. So we have no idea what this technology is just that we will come up with it.

She along with others on the stage at different times essentially just said some version of "I have a trillion dollar plan to fix [fill in the blank]" without providing a shred of detail. Just give them your money and they will take care of everything, mmkay?

Does this kind of shite poll well with anyone? What danger does fracking have for anything? Why does the government get to dictate how technology is used in private mineral rights?

I’m looking at an artificial lift design right now. Perfs and frack zone are 10k true vertical feet deep in a 10k ft length horizontal well. It would take almost 5k psi for any fluid to reach the surface. Let’s not forget about the packers in use during frac jobs and the steel and concrete casing used to protect the entire fricking wellbore.

Please idiotic know-nothing socialists, tell me how to drill, case, and produce an oil well.

Next the dems will want to end fricking in five years. That is the best way to save the planet.

It’s funny thinking back to who funded the original anti-fracking propaganda, Saudi Arabia.

Look at Aramco job openings. Half of the production jobs are requesting unconventional oil production experience. Saudi has found shale plays and they’re going after it, including fracking to open up the reservoir.
