> Coronavirus May Kill Our Fracking Fever Dream
So at a time where Coronavirus has showed us the importance of supply chains not being overseas for national security we are learning to not be energy independent?
It's almost like someone takes a premise "Fracking is bad" and adds words around it to keep people happy with that premise and gets... clicks?
- paco3346 7y agoI don't think the article is suggesting that the US not be energy independent but rather just that fracking isn't providing that.
- credit_guy 7y agoEnergy independence matters when oil is scarce and trades at $100/barrel or more. Not when oil trades at $20/bbl and there are places where it has a negative price.
- ThePowerOfFuet 7y agoIt matters, but not at the cost of polluted groundwater, people getting sick, and triggering earthquakes. There are other ways; nuclear, solar, and wind are among them.
