When you’re dealing with an unpopular, polluting technology like fracking, you’ve got to really work to get lawmakers to support it. So the fracking industry — natural gas suppliers and drillers — are doing everything they can to cozy with politicians. Here’s one small example:
The group calling itself Ai??”Cheap Natural Gas Now” (CNG Now) — which is made up of various gas and fracking interests like the American Gas Association and gas tycoon T. Boone Pickens’s Pickens Plan — has set up shop at the Republican National Convention. It’s inviting attendees to stop by and get some free espresso:
CNG Now also boasts on Twitter that natural gas shuttles are being provided at the convention. Right-wing media personalities S. E. Cupp and Geraldo Rivera also apparently stopped by the group’s booth today. Let’s hope they asked what that espresso was made out of before they took a sip.
Might as well get used to the taste of oil and gas in your coffee and probably your veggies as well. We need to start the mutations now as the gas companies cracking is going to end up contaminating all our water as the already contaminated ground waters seep through fractured rock and into the previously pristeen aquifers that provide a lot of drinking water. Thus providing another way for Republicans to line their pockets and cut research that might enable safer methods to cleanse water or even to more safely and less damaging methods to extract oil. And we must have oil, right?
Typical republican crap!!!! Wait til this litterally blows up on the republicans. When it does,lets see which republicans proudly stands up to take the respon sibility for the disaster.
