>Fracking in the USA ... ethically sourced resources
Surely these two are mutually exclusive? The US oil lobby has even more powerful propaganda than I thought if people really believe fracking is ethical!
- SuddsMcDuff 10y agoIt's all relative. Compared to the Oil fields in say Sirte Libya, a fracking establishment next to an elementary school in California might be considered relatively ethical.
- exabrial 10y agoYeah, the offshore drilling is done by Major corporations that probably have questionable ethics. I don't have the numbers on hand, but I can tell you in the midwest there are a lot of small independent oil and gas firms. Most of the money is exchanged for the other small companies to handle things like, Oilfield Services, transport, testing, OSHA requirements, environmental assurance, abd site cleanup. Local economies are so strong actually that the big players have trouble breaking in because prices are so low and efficiently handled by the small companies competing with each other.
