challege ussr natural gas

Will common sense ever come back to the USA? How will this benefit the common American citizen? Has the GOP lost its freaken mind? re we going to let special interest lobby leas us down the garden path again?Why can't WE enjoy the benefits of this new found bonanza. Fracking is touted as the new sliced bread. The tree huggers are starting to make more sense every day. All the facts are not in on that practice. Not going to go into transport costs and dangers, or water damage Oklahoma had 200 earth quakes last year, no big deal. Whats interesting and not very much known, is the damage by large scale sand mining.

I thought the tree huggers said it was bad? And it would damage the landscape or whatever?

I'm with you to an extent....why is it that our politicians want to expedite fuel to other countries in the name of a strategic move but not let us enjoy more benefits of increased drilling for oil or like mentioned before the new found bonanza of fracking? They can jump to action for trying to weaken Russia's hold on energy in Europe but here we are with our own problems that could use that kind of action to fix our own problems. What ever happened to all those shovel ready jobs? Fixing bridges? Maybe they are being completed?? Somehow I feel that whole promise has fallen short. How about building more refineries? Allowing coal mining to continue while all this over stuff is being built? How about jumping up and actually doing something about our illegal immigration problem?

I figure our politicians have A.D.D.and cannot focus on much. They seem to always move on to other issues that pop up and forget what the hell they should be doing. Awww who am I kidding....they do things that are the easiest and leave anything difficult or career ending alone.

I have become very selfish from an American standpoint. It's the same old story help other countries give away our tax dollars to other countries and we feel the pinch. At what point are we allowed to get more of a benefit??

Ok I understand what we do or at least the intent is to implant our ideals by being so generous to these areas but dang it at some point they should toss us a bone!! Freaking politicians....I don't trust any of them.
