I'm always impressed by logic. I get mad when logic is run up the pole as a false flag. Regularly I'd spend a minute and tell you about false flags but now I'm kinda mad so look it up yourself.
Our natural gas fracturing companies run up a lot of false flags. A true flag is that it creates jobs. No denying that. So now on to the false ones: it's clean, it doesn't pollute, water doesn't catch fire coming out of the kitchen faucet, it doesn't smell, it doesn't destroy the landscape. Now on to the whoppers.
It is a cheap source of energy. I like that one. Our electrical system just passed on a huge energy surcharge because the price of natural gas just went through the roof. Wait wait how can that be?? Comes the answer that this is supply and demand; which means "we have plenty of supply so we are going to demand a higher price".
The last of course has to do with earthquakes...thousands of them Last night, near East Bugtussle, Kansas there was a 4.0 - a good jolt - at a depth of (wait for it....) a mile and a quarter in a heavily fracted zone at drilling depth.
The fracturing pigs have found the food in the trough so best not get between them and it.
