Anti- frackers say it's a problem, oil execs say its not but neither side has put up any actual Facts to support their claims. The oil companies, since they are the actors, should pony up some cash to do some hard science investigation to see if there are problems and work to minimize them for the good of the public and the business community. Let's not hide our heads in the sand on this one.

New EPA Rules on Carbon Pollution a Must
Obamas current climate campaign is a large step in the right direction. The resistance from the right; the global warming naysayers like Marco Rubio, the defenders of coal like Mitch McConnell is so wrong headed as to make one wonder what sort of daemon has possessed these folks.
In order to change, somebody's going to have to change. That means jobs will be lost in coal country and aging coal fired power plants will be retired. But jobs will be gained with the growth of alternative fuel technologies and with the adoption of carbon trading platforms, a huge economy based on reducing carbon in the atmosphere will be born. It's way past time to act on reduction of pollutants in our air that threaten the future of our planet. Selling coal and filthy tar sands oil to China and having them burn it isn't an answer either. Our efforts must be planetary in scope.
