Does it? I don't see what sort of changes fracking has had on our foreign policy? I cannot think of a SINGLE foreign policy that has changed now that we've begun fracking.
- danso 13y agoFracking has been going on for a looooonnng time, so the relatively recent attention and/or uptick in activity wouldn't necessarily propagate in foreign policy changes, at least in easily noticeable ways. Another thing to consider: fracking is providing energy to meet the U.S.'s continuing growth for energy...I think foreign policy impact would most definitely happen if additional domestic energy production coincided with a national reduction in energy usage. As it is, though, fracking probably just maintains the status quo, and fracking proponents would argue that things would be much worse if we didn't have fracking at all, and energy consumption continued to grow.
