    Again, just attack.

    Hey, a neo-con talking about empathy... that's funny
    a) I'm not a neo-con and b) I'm the only one that's been talking about personally sacrificing to help others so don't point you snide crap in this direction. You can join me in sacrificing for others or you can shut the hell up about it in my opinion.

    I volunteer my a$$ off but I don't brag about it. I didn't get the point in your link since it was all over the map.

    And yea, you're textbook neo-con: Neoconservatism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    There is no bragging in there, you just can't help but make all your BS personal. Grow up.

    What do you have against a growing natural gas industry, and more jobs that don't call for black lung, or living underground for most of your life?

    We don't keep the oil produced by fracking, right? It goes on the world market.

    It can be done a lot safer, but the process and technology is new relatively, so I expect a learning curve, AND a FEW mistake. No need to be greedy and careless.

    How do you produce oil by fracking? Fracking is a method of extracting gas from coal

    Technically is call hydraulic Fracturing... Fracking is a nickname of it.

    They have means of fracturing (no I am not that familiar with the process) the rock to allow more exit paths than just the natural existing fractures allowing more of the oil (or natural gas) to be extracted.

    The problem with it is that it's often below a drinking water table and, if done incorrectly, can spoil that drinking water supply.

    I just think it's funny that since Obama's reelection you've discovered natural has a great future. Meanwhile, no job doesn't put food in the laid off coal workers children's belly.

    Oh but wait, you'll just put that burden on our kids instead of letting people who want to work now take care of their own family. But who cares if children starve as long as your conscience is soothed?

    I think it is a great failure of your society that you haven't heard of retraining. When an industry goes, it goes. The workers have to be given an alternative, a pratical alternative, employment in their region

    No it is not coal gassification . That is a different process. This is extraction gas and oil from areas that were not accessible in the past by fracturing the shale layer above the reserve.

    And I think it's a great failing of your society that you haven't learned any manners toward your allies.
