Rand Paul: fracking is the only proven thing that reduces carbon emissions, and yet all hypocrite Democrats are against it

[Sunsettommy]

Also, coal and fracked "natural" gas are both fossil fuels. Solar power (including wind) has "proven" far superior to either. Better than nukes as well.

What a delusional claim that is.......

 

[Crepitus]

fracking is a good thing! i agree with the good senator...even though it causes earthquakes

It's ruining foundations here in Wichita kansas.

My God he's stupid. Hydrolic fracturing has nothing to do with emissions.

OMG!
You're such a moron.

Why do you think coal consumption has dropped so much in the US?

Fracking has been in common use since the 1950s.. Coal has been dying since 1950.

Fracking has been in common use since the 1950s.

A lot more so in the last 15 years.

So why has coal been dying?

Only in the US because most domestic wells produce less than 50 pbd. Its been in common use overseas since 1950.

What does the chart have to do with your claim?

Show percentage of electricity generated by coal since the 50s.

You post it.. I've shown you the decline in coal mining jobs.

Does he actually think that or does he think you are stupid enough to believe it?

It doesn't? Please explain further.

You see, there's guy named Rand Paul that continually says wacky shit that only a dumb ass would take seriously. I hope that explanation was helpful.

In this case, he's absolutely correct.

Why do you think US CO2 emissions have dropped over the last decade?

Fracking is a drilling and extraction process, it is not an energy source. Not every democrat is against it.

Fracking is a drilling and extraction process, it is not an energy source.

It extracts an energy source.

You still don't think it's an odd comment? Energy policy and politics is far too ambiguous to make blanket partisan statements like that.

Unless you need to rely on it. But solar is a great way to usher in the next glacial cycle. I hope you live up north.

That's doubtful.

Fracking is a destructive and polluting process that was practically unregulated until shit started happening. Then the industry fought environmental regulation tooth and nail. It does not in itself reduce carbon emissions as OP claims. Most democrats are fine with it as long as they are not wrecking the planet contrary to what OP says.

You made the claim.

Coal has been dying since 1950.

Would you look at that, increased productivity.........DURR

Of course it does.

Cheap natural gas is the reason coal power plants are shutting down.

Certainly not because of fracking. If Natural gas has contributed to a reduction in CO2 it is only by replacing some coal and oil but it is still nowhere near being CO2 neutral. The right's gung-ho pro fracking stance is a bought and paid for campaign against environmental regulation by an industry that is simply burying it's toxic pollution.

Fracking made it cheap enough to replace coal.

If Natural gas has contributed to a reduction in CO2 it is only by replacing some coal and oil

Yes, that's exactly what it did. Exactly what Rand Paul claimed.

but it is still nowhere near being CO2 neutral.

What does "CO2 neutral" mean?

You do not know what carbon neutral means? You should really educate yourself since you have decided to shill for the fossil fuel industry.

Is it one of those twatty, useless "green" things? Just say so.

You want fossil fuel production that reduces total US CO2 emissions to be carbon neutral?

That would be a huge step backwards

There are a complex set of issues surrounding every kind of energy production. You don't know much about them but that does not stop you from having opinions anyway.

There are a complex set of issues surrounding every kind of energy production. You don't know much about them but that does not stop you from having opinions anyway.

The most complex issue is that burning CH4 releases much less CO2 per BTU than burning coal.

Every kind of energy is a shifting quagmire involving cost per kilowatt, environmental impact, dependability, the companies involved, the nations involved, the commodities market, regulation, employment, infrastructure etc.

Natural gas is cheaper and cleaner.

Why can't liberals take the win?
