A decade ago...environmentalists were so happy. They’d circled the wagons around drilling for oil off the coast of any state, then limited any oil production out of Alaska...they had done the impossible.

Then comes along fracking....of old wells that had already been drilled and accepted in all of the states. Then they discovered all of the shale oil in previously unknown areas like Alabama or Mississippi.

The environmentalists? They now count on Saudi oil money to prep-up and support their funding operation. If it wasn’t for Saudi money....most would be desperate at this point. The odd thing? We are supporting the Saudis by buying their oil, then they dump the cash back onto environmentalists...to wage wage in courts and public opinion. It gets to a point where a regular guy can laugh at the ‘game’ being played out.

Reading their online Cornell bios its tough to determine their bonifides to comment on findings. Prof Igraffes has been identified as antifracking before expressing concern with ground water pollutin

Energy experts and environmentalists celebrated the finding that almost all the escaping methane could be captured by state of the art equipment. “Can we control it? Thanks to new EPA regulations coming online, the answer to that is good news,”

Oh Wow. thanks to the EPA issuing a regulation less methane is escaping. Nothing to do with the companies doing the drilling !

It is encouraging to see at least some greenies lining up in support of natgas and fracking. I know it is driven by their antipathy toward coal, but nonetheless. The unethical collusion of the two Cornell flunkies with the Park Foundation is revealing.
