How about the contaminated water from fracking? Not a cause for worries?
____________________________
Frack water is not drinkable, and that is about all the bad you can say about it. It is injected back into disposal wells--as has been done for at least the last 75 year of oil business--into formations thousand of feet below the surface--into zones well below drinkable water.
But, I'm not a scientist, so I won't try to disabuse you of your leftist notions scientifically.
I will deal with the question of the cost to society of a particular benefit.
We get to drive around in our cars, and big trucks bring us our stuff, and we fly off to wherever we want to go and we pave our roads and many other things which are entirely possible because of oil.
Consider this. We Kill 40,000 Americans a year on highways and roads with CARS, and we maim many more, and very little is said---because we like the lifestyle...and oil is extraordinarily necessary to that lifestyle.
I am surprised that oil is not blamed for the 40,000 deaths. I guess the Loons haven't thought of it yet.
All you've got is what to do with frack water? I just told you about that. What are we doing with nuclear waste?
Have any of you Loons thought about the value of 40,000 killed by cars every year?
Your leftist priorities are all fucked up. The only sense I can make of any of it is that you are making decisions on what is best to buy votes for the Democratic Party.
Merry Christmas. And God Bless America.
