Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., while announcing his 10-point plan to end the plastics pollution crisis, said he would ban fracking. The process of fracking involves high pressure injections of liquid into underground rocks and layers to open fissures and extract oil or gas. The United Nations says each year, 19-23 million tons of plastic waste leaks into waterways, polluting rivers, seas, and lakes. [snip] The move would also drive the price of oil above $150 per barrel, while killing state budgets for energy producing states.

Comments:

RFK Jr. is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Fracking causes earthquakes. I lived in a small town in OK. They started fracking in the field at the end of the street. We initially felt small tremors and actually got excited - an earthquake! Well they started getting stronger. Houses were developing cracks up the outside wall. Then there was a 5.3 earthquake. That was loud and scary as heck. A couple of days later the fracking equipment left. So did the earthquakes.

Plastic pollution???? Yes. It would be nice if there were not islands of plastic floating in the ocean. Are they from the USA? No? If the USA limits its plastic usage, it won't tackle the problem of plastic pollution in other countries.

Like most woke liberal ideas, this would do nothing to solve the ' problem ' of plastic waste. Plastic, or solidified hydrocarbons, is a great resource. Just because the status quo likes to dump everything in a landfill, doesn't mean there are much better ways to handle plastic trash.

Electricity kills a lot of people, do we ban it? Only allow government buildings to have it? If the hundreds of layers of government regulators can't do their job and oversee fracking, fire them and find someone who will. Fracking is bad when shortcuts are taken. Replacing toxic drill mixes with co2 could work for many sites and the others can come back when they have less toxic must mix. Meanwhile, when will RFK figure out that it was only via fracking that the US had any leverage in the energy market? There is a reason PVC exists and if the railroad can't ship it safely, maybe build the plastic plant next to the chemical plant. Even waste PVC can be safely converted to syngas without chlorine gas problems. IF you make the effort. He likes to ban a lot of practical, useful materials, but his replacement solutions are studies, meeting and treaties, instead of actual hardware using better science than he has bothered to study. Don't get this dope started on tires or you will be walking.

Fellow Okie here, #4. It wasn’t fracking causing our earthquakes. It was high pressure disposal wells. Two different things. The state department of environmental quality has oil companies lower the pressure they were using in this wells, and the quakes subsided.

Re #23, please do some checking. The "great gyre plastic island" is a bigger lie than climate change. In the DENSEST areas of "plastic pollution" they say it represents a few slivers of plastic crumbs from naturally decaying bottles and such per cubic meter. Some kid managed to get a good bit of funding from adults and built a "plastic collection" machine to float around and collect "all that plastic".....it was a bust because the amount of plastics actually floating are so very, very little that the machine collected almost nothing significant.

Tucker Carlson’s latest episode of his show on X, formerly known as Twitter, aired Thursday and it certainly was a bang-up one. It featured an interview with former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund. As Tucker explained, he’d filmed an interview with Sund earlier in the year (when he was still working for Fox). It was scheduled to run on Monday, April 24, Carlson said. Then Carlson was let go from Fox that Monday morning and the interview never aired. Because the interview footage is owned by Fox, Tucker can’t run it. So instead he invited Sund to come on his X show and tell what he knew.

The former president was allowed to return to his summer home in Bedminster, New Jersey, but only after agreeing to abide by the conditions agreed upon by prosecutors and the defense. Trump "must not violate federal or state laws; he must appear in court as required; he must sign an appearance bond; and he must not communicate about the facts of the case with anyone Trump knows to be a witness, except through counsel or in presence of counsel."

The Biden administration is setting a booby trap in case a Republican wins the presidency in 2024. On Friday, the White House unveiled a proposed rule that would make it even harder than in the past for an incoming Republican president to wrestle control of the left-leaning federal bureaucracy and actually implement the conservative policies promised to voters. Of the 2.2 million federal civil workers, only 4,000 are presidential appointees. The rest stay in their jobs, from one administration to the next, protected by rules that make it nearly impossible to discipline or replace them.

United Nations, (Reuters) - Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced on Wednesday he will pump $500 million into the next phase of his energy transition campaign, aiming to shut down "every last" coal plant in the United States and slash gas-fired capacity in half by 2030. The $500 million infusion into his decade-long Beyond Carbon initiative aims to "finish the job on coal" by working with state and local organizations to force the closure of the roughly 150 coal plants that have not yet retired, slash current gas generation in half and block the construction of new gas-fired plants.
