A plan that relies heavily on fracking more of our communities and public lands is a threat to our climate, health, air, and water. A plan that replaces dirty coal plants with dirty natural gas plants is short-sighted. And a plan that includes negotiating trade agreements that allow natural gas to be shipped to other countries while leaving communities to suffer with the air and water pollution is irresponsible. The oil and gas and industry must be held accountable for their pollution. Instead of offering incentives and loopholes that allow this industry to frack without any responsibility, it is time to close the federal exemptions the industry enjoys. We must also prevent the exporting of liquefied natural gas, whose climate footprint is worse than coal, and will significantly add to climate disruption. Natural gas is not a climate solution. Any Fossil Fuel, including Natural Gas, only adds carbon dioxide and other pollution to our atmosphere, thus causing climate change. Our Nation must lead by learning to convert carbon dioxide back into fuels. Plant life has been doing this for millions of years. Surely we can learn to do it too!
