In the News/Activism forum, on a thread titled University Of Texas-Shale Gas Study Unmasks Politics Of Anti-Fracking Activist Cornell Scientists, pepsionice wrote:
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.
You forgot to add “also into Demo-Com campaign coffers”
