Environmental issues related to fracking which involves injecting water because with chemicals in particular its like sand very High Pressure deep into hard rock formations youre basically putting a jet engine on the drill and using water at High Pressure instead of the drilling operation so theres tons of Environmental Issues water issues but theres also Climate Change the more oil and natural gas produce we produce the more Greenhouse Gas emissions we emit into the atmosphere and so i think what young people are responding to is we have to respond to the Climate Crisis and the only way to effectively respond to the Climate Crisis is to limit our fossil fuel production to limit our fossil fuel consumption and so we cant just talk about banning fracking without talking about specifics on alternatives to liquid transportation. In fuels and alternatives to natural gas in the power sector obama did call it a bridge fuel in terms of getting us off coal but it seems to be much more of a geo
Seen the us go from importing 50000000 barrels a day of oil to down to less than 2000000 barrels a day at the same time china is now importing almost 10000000000 barrels a day so now china has become what we were in the seventys and we had the oil crisis i mean the next problem with oil come out of the middle east our strategic rival china is going to a big problem and over here were going to be pretty much selfsufficient so i think in terms of domestic resources it was a win in terms of Climate Change it was a win the u. S. Is the only region in the world that has actually reduced its emissions since 2005 reduced about 7 percent and thats because were replacing the dirtiest fuel coal with natural gas so this idea of banning fracking is a big gain of pollutants absolute you would watch it you would see number one our Living Standards are completely dependent on our electricity production so to just oh no trying to ban Something Like that weve built the entire Energy Infrastructure arou
The neo liberal policy for democrats that was really championed now the Younger Generation theyre against what do you think about fracking and should we ban it or is it an issue well fracking obviously is sort of the centerpiece of u. S. Fossil fuel production there are huge concerns not just about some of the Environmental Issues related to fracking which involves injecting water because with chemicals and particulates like sand very High Pressure deep into hard rock formations youre basically putting a jet engine on the drill and using water at High Pressure instead of the drilling operation so theres tons of Environmental Issues water issues but theres also Climate Change the more oil and natural gas producer we produce the more Greenhouse Gas emissions we admit into the atmosphere and so i think what young people are responding. Im going to is we have to respond to the Climate Crisis and the only way to effectively respond to the Climate Crisis is to limit our fossil fuel productio
Frontrunning 2020 with banks kaiser and Stacy Herbert as we look at the issues and policies heading into the election now today stacey were taking a look at Energy Policy.

Want if their support for Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren is anything to go by of course obama and that Democratic Administration their signature policy was fracking obama brought in fracking to the nation weve seen a doubling of the production of oil because of that joining our our dan collins and tyson slocum now barack obama championed fracking it has seen since 2008 to 2018 the u. S. Crude Oil Production doubled from 5000000. 00 barrels today to 11000000. 00 Barrels Per Day Hillary Clinton as secretary of state flew around the world trying to get nations like poland for example to bring fracking there so this is the older school the neo liberal policy for democrats that was really championed now the Younger Generation theyre against what do you think about fracking
