Jeb Bush Championed Fracking While Standing To Profit From It, Report Alleges

[Lakhota]

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) pushed states to approve the controversial drilling practice known as fracking while he personally stood to profit from the practice, theTampa Bay Times reported on Friday.

According to the Times, Bush, a likely 2016 presidential contender, urged a group of New York conservatives in 2013 to support fracking, even while he was involved with a private equity group that was raising $40 million for a company acquiring fracking wells.

Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, involves drilling water, chemicals and sand into the earth to break up rocks, thus freeing oil and natural gas. Environmentalists who object to the process say that fracking releases hazardous chemicals into the water supply.

Those in the audience probably didn't know that Bush co-owns a company that is a managing partner of FracStar Logistics, a company that provides sand for fracking. According to the Times, Bush's son, Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush, helped found FracStar, whose name has since been changed to Proforce Energy Services. The report also notes that the former governor and his other son, Jeb Bush Jr., are co-owners of the managing group, De Soto Partners.

In addition, the Tampa Bay Times highlighted a speech that Bush gave in Colorado last year, in which he said that a possible statewide referendum that could permit more restrictions on fracking was "one of the dumbest things I've ever heard."

Jeb Bush's private investments in fracking dovetail with public advocacy - Tampa Bay Times

Something else to consider regarding his qualifications to lead the nation.

So I will.

A man that helps to create jobs instead of destroying the country for some idiotic ideal, is someone to take seriously

Not everyone likes their drinking water to burn a flame.

How many times has that been proven to be bullshit, to you?

Between 50 and 100 times, at least.

but hey, something in the water that has no effect on people should be the reason to kill an industry.

leftist are just this dumb

Prove that it's bullshit.

I see the usual liberal fanatics are still spending their time trying to tear down Republicans who did perfectly normal things.

This entire forum seems to have degenerated into liberals trying to destroy conservatives for trivial or imaginary reasons, while conservatives try futilely to engage them in actual debate on real issues.

Have liberals been so completely defeated on so many fronts, that they have nothing more to talk about than that?

What will they whine about next week? I can see it now: "Jeb Bush championed people tying their shoes while standing to profit from tying his own, report alleges".... followed by the usual liberal whining and crying over how dastardly he was for doing so.
