Why dont we just ban OIL and see what happens to our economy....these assholes are dangerous to America!
------------
A bill sponsored by Sanders and socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., would ban hydraulic fracturing, better known as fracking, by the year 2025.
If Sanders becomes president, you can bet that he would work hard to turn this destructive legislation into the law of the land.
Fracking is the key to the energy revolution that has turned America into an energy powerhouse and drastically reduced our need to import oil and natural gas from other countries.
America gets half its oil and two-thirds of its natural gas from fracking. The abundance of our domestic energy – responsibly and safely produced through fracking – undergirds our entire economy. That’s because everything manufactured, grown and transported requires energy.
Fracking is a process by which a combination of water and fluids is injected into rock thousands of feet underground, releasing the hydrocarbons (oil and natural gas) trapped within. The fluid is so safe that former Colorado governor and unsuccessful Democratic presidential candidate John Hickenlooper, who is a geologist, actually drank it. A publicity stunt, sure, but it made the point.
Fracking is not new. Americans discovered it during the Civil War and it became common in the 1930s. But in recent years we’ve gotten really good at it. We’ve perfected the technology, and now we produce more oil and natural gas than any other nation on Earth. This could not have happened without the widespread use of fracking.
Taking more than 50 percent of our energy out of production would be a disaster. Basic economics tells us what happens to the price of something when the demand stays constant and the supply is drastically cut. Prices would skyrocket for everything requiring energy to produce – meaning everything we buy, not just energy itself.

I think that's a good way of framing it for voters -- do you want to cut American energy production by more than half? If not, vote for Trump.
