7. Hate it - the right-wingers here in the UK are gung-ho for it (:

Fracking industry money is talking very loudly at the moment and it's extremely worrying:

UK ministers make it 'top priority' to ensure nature laws do not hamper fracking

The government has made it a “top priority” to ensure protections for national parks and sites of special scientific interest do not obstruct fracking across the country, according to a leaked letter from ministers.

Fracking in both protected areas was ruled out by the government last year, in the Infrastructure Act, although campaigners pointed out that companies could still drill vertically outside park boundaries and then horizontally beneath them.

But it appears ministers are working to ensure that even those limited protections do not get in the way of fracking companies.

8. The fricking-frackers are keeping a low profile during this campaign season, other than donating

to Clinton.

9. I think everyone who is informed

Should be against it.

But I am often proven wrong in believing educating the public is enough as there are too many people who really just don't give a damn.

11. I want to salute the honesty of the one person, so far, to admit supporting fracking.

Most won't admit it.
