What the Frack? (Part 1 of 2) - Liberty Conservatives
Answer’s to Potential “cons”:
1. Negative environmental consequences from the amount of water needed to frack-
THE NUMBERS….
According to the website www.dangersoffracking.com, the following numbers corresponding to the amount of water needed are true in the USA:
-500,000 active gas wells in the US
-8 million gallons of water per fracking
-18 times a well can be fracked
So, that’s a lot of water…right? However, let’s compare the amount of water needed to frack, with what an average family of 4 uses each year. Any guesses? SURELY with all of our government mandates and energy efficiencies we have pared this down to almost nothing right? Wrong. Every year a typical family of four in the USA uses 146,000 gallons of water…and that is a 2013 statistic, so this INCLUDES the gallons saved from many of the most recent EPA mandates! The fact is that the amount of water used for fracking isn’t really all that significant when you think of the money savings and national defense implications of having energy independence.
2. Negative consequences from the chemicals used in the water that is used to frack-
Over 600 different chemicals are used in the creation of “fracking fluid”, and include the “scary” ones like radium, lead, uranium and mercury (just to name a few). The thought is that, as these chemicals are shot into the shale, that MUCH of what is in this dangerous cocktail will seep into the ground water supply and make many sick. The truth? According to some recent research done out of Duke University, the claims from the left about the seepage are just plain wrong. In fact, it is now proven fact that shooting these high powered water and chemical cocktail streams into the shale deposits thousands of feet below the surface does not cause groundwater contamination…AT ALL. The truth? As long as there is regulation helping to make sure that the process is done properly, this is a 100% complete non-factor as far as “potential problems” go with fracking.
3. Negative consequences from VOC’s-
I am sure somewhere in the arctic right now there is a family of polar bears teetering on an iceberg the size of the wood plank that Rose from the famous Titanic movie rested on as she watched Jack sink to the bottom of the sub-zero temperature ocean, that are SUPER concerned about what the liberals are referring to as “harmful VOC’s (volatile organic compounds) and how it will affect their already dwindling ice caps (this of course is sarcastic in nature as it has been proven that Al Gore and his crying polar bears is a bunch of malarky). It is being said, right now, in many university classrooms and “enviro-wackadoodle” think-tanks across the nation that these VOC’s are being released into the atmosphere, creating harmful contaminated air, acid rain, and ground level ozone. Looking deeper though, we see the ACTUAL truth behind the progressive fear mongering. According to an article at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov, there are new EPA mandates, that are required to be in place in 2015, that are going to drastically reduce the amount of these “VOC’s” to a pretty much insignificant amount:
“The EPA estimates the green completion process and other required changes will annually cut about 95% of the VOCs emitted from 11,400 newly fracked and 1,400 refracked wells.17 For 2015 the agency estimates that full implementation of the new rules will result in reductions of 190,000 tons of VOCs, 11,000 tons of hazardous air pollutants, and methane equivalent to 18 million tons of CO2 above and beyond reductions already mandated in Wyoming, Colorado, and a few places in Texas.”
So, when we look at “what is” and “what liberals are saying”, again, we have discrepancies. I am not saying AT ALL that fracking is a “be all end all” with NO DANGER whatsoever. There is danger and there is also potential for abuse if these companies don’t have accountability. What I am saying is that the potential positives of fracking FAR outweigh the potential negatives and, when we are energy independent, I feel that many of the progressive dissenters will be doing all they can to distance themselves from the anti-frackers and lining up to take credit for helping to make fracking a reality—you know, the way they normally do about, well, just about everything good that happens that they have had no hand in WHATSOEVER.
"Appearing on CBS’ “Face the Nation” Sunday morning, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani doubled down on his indictment of those in power.
When we add in the fact that this administration’s only go-to answer to economic issues is to punish the job creators in a misguided attempt to meld economics with a warped understanding of social justice, it’s easy to see that even if Obama and his minions can tout inflated and manipulated stats, such illusions are not reflective of actual economic reality."
"According to a recent WND report, a number of protest groups are planning a disruptive demonstration at the headquarters of Fox News Channel and the New York Post, two media outlets under the umbrella of Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp.
"Get ready to fight back: Last week, the Health and Human Services Department announced a plan to share your medical records with over 35 federal agencies — all in the name of “health care,” of course. All in the name of “efficiency,” the favorite excuse used by fascists wherever they appear.
"Hundreds of officers standing outside the church where a funeral was being held for a New York City policeman killed in an ambush shooting turned their backs on the mayor as he spoke during the Saturday service."
"While the airline received praise from many for their generosity, they also received bomb threats and a call for boycotts. It looks like some people’s hatred of the police, driven by the divisive, hate-filled words from Barack Obama, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Eric Holder, and Communist New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, formerly known as Warren Wilhelm, Jr., that they are incensed that JetBlue would show such generosity towards and support of our men and women in blue."
"Unless we forget, Obama stood and engaged in taqiyyah when he told the American people that the Islamic State was neither Islamic nor a state. Other examples of the Obama administration standing with Islamists include his State Department’s recent working alongside a designated terrorist organization in order to whitewash their terrorist connections, and John Kerry’s taqiyyah claim that “The real face of Islam is a peaceful religion based on the dignity of all human beings.”
It amazes me that liberal American's especially liberal American women turn a blind eye to the oppression of Islam. They demand everything must be equal so as to LIBERATE them. This is far from liberating. This is going backwards at lightening speed. 
Civil Rights Leader Niger Innis Reveals The Three Individuals More Dangerous to America Than Al Sharpton:
They’re not alone. The group coordinating the lawsuit, the Competitive Enterprise Institute, noted in October that while the Obama administration had cited Gruber in every brief during the King v. Burwell lawsuit before Gruber’s comments on subsidies became public, they scrubbed him from their final brief asking the Supreme Court not to hear the case."
“They are in the process of hiring 1,000 full-time staff to quickly approve applications for the president’s illegal amnesty, which will provide work permits, photo IDs, Social Security and Medicare to illegal immigrants — all benefits rejected by Congress,” Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., said earlier this month. “This action will mean that American workers, their sons, their daughters, their parents, will now have to compete directly for jobs, wages, and benefits with millions of illegal immigrants.”
"Amid racially charged protests and controversial police altercations, President BarackObama said the United States is less racially divided now than before he took office.
"The U.S. Department of Agriculture has tried some difficult things before, like its various attempts to get kids to eat vegetables, or its effort to get people to stop eating cookie dough.
