The point about fracking stands though, right? Isn't the argument that we may have to cause some environmental damage in the name of plentiful, cheap energy? Then that energy gets harvested and, guess what, it isn't plentiful or c

Very helpful - thanks! I completely agree with the calls to action: I've found them inauthentic and jarring. It's a bit like carefully planning an outfit, then throwing some Crocs on at the last minute to serve as footwear! I&#x27
