(4,667 posts)Please people be aware of that. Putting permafracking in TTIP will make housing much more expensive because the price of natural gas wil rise and demand a lot of new building, especially in cities. It could remake the cities in a new market rate mold. Lots of people will be displaced if that happens, because their low rents are tied to a specific apartment.

(92 posts)Ask the folks in Oklahoma about the huge increase in earthquakes. Never heard of one there before fracking, now they have like 50 a month! Not to mention the defilement of the water supplies!

I cannot think of a single issue with more intersections and overlaps between various movements. Talk about a Venn diagram!

(20,453 posts)Remembering the moment out of Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth, there's a scene where he stands with an imaginary balance in his hands and remarks something like...
Let's see... short term profits... or an earth that's inhabitable? Um....
It is simple, when you open your eyes to what is changing more rapidly on planet earth by each day!

(304 posts)"As secretary of state in 2010, Clinton argued in favor of gas as 'the cleanest fossil fuel available for power generation today,' and said that 'if developed, shale gas could make an important contribution to our region's energy supply, just as it does now for the United States.' Her office, meanwhile, promoted fracking in developing nations.
After leaving the Obama administration in 2014, Clinton still emphasized the benefits of fracking, implying that strict limits on fracking should be the exception to the rule. In 2016, Clinton has flipped her emphasis, as Sanders has gained an edge from his anti-fracking stance: Now, she suggests it will be a rare, unlikely case when fracking should be allowed."

Bernie proves time and again that he has the vision, the intelligence, the wisdom, the consistency and the integrity to stand up for what is right with his uniform calls for a TOTAL BAN on fracking.
Fracking fails the "Seventh Generation" test and Bernie has known that all along.
LIVE GREEN...VOTE BLUE FOR BERNIE!
GO BERNIE!!! (for the sake of our environment and our future generations!)
