Colorado Republican: Fracking Can’t Cause Earthquakes Because That’s God’s Job
http://proudemocrat.com/2016/04/03/colorado-republican-fracking-cant-cause-earthquakes-because-thats-gods-job/The Republican Women of Weld held a campaign forum for seven regressive U.S. Senate hopefuls in Colorado this week. In order to properly pander to the drilling industry in Weld County, all of the candidates took some shots at the Environmental Protection Agency.Rick Perry may not have been able to remember the EPA, but these aspiring Congressional speed-bumps do.
Peg Littleton and Tim Neville both want to cut funding to the agency. Defunding the EPA is popular with people who consider clean air and potable water an unnecessary concern. It’s expensive to siphon liquid dinosaurs from the ground, and energy barons need that money to stimulate the economy or something. Littleton also targeted critics of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. Even though scientific evidence shows that fracking is likely causing earthquakes, she knows there isonly one way to really make the earth move.
There have been earthquakes long before we ever did fracking. Let’s be honest. You know God is kind of in control of those. And not by us drilling down in the ground and doing the fracking.
People developed cancer long before we invented cigarettes, therefore cigarettes cannot possibly cause cancer. This kind of flawless logic will help Littleton fit right in, should she get to join Mitch McConnell’s gang of representative layabouts. But what if God wants us to concentrate on cleaner, renewable energy and he is causing seismic activity around fracking sites to send the message? Nope. Darryl Glenn, knows that omnipotent deities hate trees and the people who hug them.
