Pennsylvania children living near the sites at birth were two to three times more likely to be diagnosed with leukemia between ages 2 and 7, a new study finds.
The entire concept of fracking is that you drill into a fissure, then blast it full of a dangerous chemical slurry so that it eventually forces natural gas out of the fissure. Then when all the natural gas is gone, they pack up and leave with their money. The chemical slurry stays in the ground forever, leaching into water tables, public waterways, potentially contaminating soil used for live stock and agriculture.
We literally have a visible ball of unlimited fusion energy in the fucking sky, and natural tides that can power tidal generators, but no, let’s just poison the shit out of everyone for a slightly better profit margin…
You know that renewable Energy exists? In the time we would need to replace follils with nuclear we can insted build renewables and Storage capacitys and we would be way cheaper.
It works all the fucking time. The sun doesn’t turn off. You attach batteries to the solar panels that way if there are clouds you can just use what’s in the batteries and if it’s a sunny day and you don’t need the extra energy you store it in the batteries until you do. And if it’s really cloudy in your area… Get a windmill.
That was the joke. We know precisely down to the second when the sun will be shining. We’ve been able to calculate that for over a century at this point.
“Oh, what about storms and clouds!?!”
Let me introduce those naysayers to the national energy grids. My house can get electricty from a producer thousands of miles away, so even if clouds are covering my whole state, we’re still getting power from sunny areas.

we havnt tapped into geothermal like scifi does, we have the other ones though.
Except that nuclear is not economically viable.
Huh? France seems to be doing OK.
I should mention, that building new nuclear reactors is not financially a viable option.
Yea, better burn the world down instead.

Then why did it take until 1859 for human population to start trending up and reach 8 billion?
I’ll help you: oil. The ancient Romans had geothermal, wind, tide, solar, and hydro as well.
They had the exact same energy we do now. The difference is we have power, they didn’t.
I’ll help you again. You can’t fertilize crops with electricity, or make plastic.
Let me help you.
LOL. You can NOT be serious.
How will you FEED all these people?

" and the widespread use of chemical fertilizers"
You can NOT sustain our present human population with sunshine and puppies. Vaccines or not.
You seriously misunderstand just about everything.
Ah, chemical fertilizer must be made with crude oil and natural gas! And we must have started using those in the mid 1800s!
No, wait. Both of those are wrong.
You know what else you can’t sustain a human population with? A planet with no fresh water and a toxic atmosphere.
Right, but that visible ball isn’t reliable. You have no idea when it’s going to work or not.
If anyone cares, sunset is at 9:04 PM today.

I’m an educator, and I’m forbidden from taking about fracking at work ( ° ͜ʖ °)
