The great Dan Crenshaw issued a slapdown on Bernie Sanders and AOC over their idiotic policy promise to ban fracking if the US is unfortunate enough to elect him president.
He’s right. I don’t think people recognize enough just what a revolution it has been for the world to have fracking open up previously untappable oil resources. This has irrevocably changed the balance of power in the Middle East since the U.S. no longer has to worry about our dependence on our allies for energy. This has meant more wealth and prosperity for every American, and improved living conditions on a global scale.
There’s a great article that explains just how the innovation of fracking has changed the world.
SO why are idiots like Bernie Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez trying to ban fracking? They really are just knee-jerk socialists who hate industry. And they’re so stupid about it that they actually advocate policies that are self-defeating. Just amazing.
