Fracking is officially no longer a curse word.
It became official last night when Kamala Harris – the Democratic Party presidential candidate considered by many to be environmentally “woke” – reversed her former stance by saying in a televised interview, “As president, I will not ban fracking.”
Phew — now we can talk openly about the incredible evolution in energy production that fracking is.
Misguided environmental activists must now choose another word to get behind.
Ideally, it would be something that, similar to fracking, sounds like – or is – a curse word. Something that activists could blame for climate change. The hottest place imaginable would make sense.
Hmmm … I’ve got it! I have the next cause célèbre for climate activists. And I have even taken the time to come up with a slogan that they can use as a rallying cry:
“Go to Hell!”
Turning serious for a moment, very few people who are against fracking – unless they profit in some way from harming domestic energy security – understand what fracking is.
For a quick, practical education on the subject, please refer to my brilliant co-founder Laurie Weston’s excellent article: Fracking 101: Just the fracts
