You really should though. We're injecting our planet with poison, from air, land, and sea. At what point do we take considerable steps in utilizing renewable energy from the rain, sunlight, wind, and water that are naturally given to us and are sustainable? I think the problem with people that are so pro-environment and are so anti-Hillary because of her fracking stance, don't understand her full picture of it. Hillary is all for utilizing and promoting renewable energy. She has set some ambitious goals that will support that agenda like wanting to install nearly half of a billion solar panels in the United States. When she advocated for fracking overseas, it was for a push to move from coal fracking to natural gas (she mentioned it during the debate if those who were paying attention, listened). I know, to some, fracking is fracking, BUT, in order to move people from drilling so much, you have to do it in increments, scattering alternatives when doing so. Give them the outlook of this is the route to go and it's environment friendly as well.
After that, you gradual shift people to more solar panels, powering homes and facilities alike. Then you move more towards windmills creating energy as well. It's about doing things in steps. To fully cease all activity of fracking, effectively immediately, it would have consequential effects around the world. Plus, you have to deal with the politics of it all, when encouraging stubborn countries like China to stop the air pollution or Saudi Arabia will their drilling, it's not that easily. This is a global issue that requires collaboration.
Legislation can't get passed without Congress. If anything bad passes, blame her, Congress. And then there are times when Governors don't have to enforce it like Obamacare so if they do then blame them too.
Has he been hanging around Ben Carson lately or something?
