Climate-change platforms of some Democratic presidential candidates propose a ban on fracking to extract fossil fuels, a move that is popular with their supporters but could have consequences for the U.S. economy.
Candidates including Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders have signaled their willingness to banish the practice—which involves pumping a mixture of water, sand and chemicals into rock formations deep below the earth’s surface to release reserves of oil and gas—and others have said they would work to phase it...
The anti-meat Democrats were served over 10,000 steaks, at their Iowa Steak Fry that were cooked on frackedgas grills !!!
Fracking releases poison gas into the atmosphere. Maybe Wall street should invest in tanks full of it and learn to breathe it and while they're at it eat some coal.
“Could have consequences”? Most definitely it would, especially for the middle class & poor.
This is more basic than economy: All life on our planet is based on carbon. I love them all. So does UN Abundant energy is available in the ground. That's where it should be taken instead Nobody wants society without electricity, especially in still nights of winter freeze
it would be tragic if Democrats'd lose 4 more yrs ofTrump They r pandering to socialist left n extreme environmentalists which would damage prosperity
They don’t give a dam about America
Asbestos, DDT, lead, leaded gasoline, slave and child labor were also a significant part of our economy. I don’t see anyone advocating for its return. Economy should not dictate our development. Development is reflected by our economy. Let’s not forget this.
We could’ve begun transitioning years ago, and only had positive benefits to the economy. But Republicans have continually prevented action for years, denying reality, and claiming that climate change is hoax. Now we are in a tougher spot, thanks to GOP donors. We need action.
Climate-change is a hoax, created by the richest 1%! Corporations use the climate to change the human landscape. In black neighborhoods, reclamation plants, chemical plants, garbage burn stations abound. You act we don't exist! Our children will act like you are the Devil!
This is fear mongering. Fracking ban will spring investment and jobs in new renewable tech. It’s not about people reach 40 and up... its about generation before us and it’s not biz
Why say only that it “could have consequences”. It definitely would have huge impact.
CLIMATE WILL HAVE CONSEQUENCES FOR THE US ECONOMY!
Ask the 45% that supports a fracking ban if they're cool with $3+/gal gas and I suspect they'll change their opinion
These days everything the democrats propose have consequences to our economy
Do the Democrats want to return the United States to ancient times?
Surely when gas hits $10 a gallon at the pump these candidates will reap the gratitude of the entire nation! The stupidest proposal of the year, no wonder Joe Biden wants nothing to do with it.
