Shocking.

Both parties might as well have the campaign slogan:

Drill baby, drill

Pretty sure GW broke Clinton's fossil fuel production records, Obama broke GW's, I know trump broke Obama's, and Biden broke Trump's...

And the DNC wonders why they lose environmentalists every election.

Even in states where fracking is big, no one wants it by them, roughly half want it banned, and everyone agrees it's not a good thing the corps are in charge of it and they need reigned in.

It just sucks the only candidate even paying them lip service is always Jill fucking Stein.
