        @PascalLeroux @sapinker my initial reaction was the same. But Read the article, is a bit more complex than that. It's also very interesting

        @rwagenseil @sapinker @PostOpinions lol my thoughts exactly. I think if we're serious about global warming fracking has to go.

        @rwagenseil @sapinker agreed I think it's laughable the article ends with "let's let the market handle it" as if it wasn't the problem.

        @sapinker When he's only attacking one actually "clean" alternative, calling this a war on clean energy is dishonest, Steven. @PostOpinions

        @sapinker being against nuclear and natural gas doesn't make him anti clean energy he is pro solar and wind,for example hack reporting

        @sapinker Fracking has a roughly equal ghg footprint to coal. And he doesn't want to immediately phase out nuclear. Come on, Steve.

        @sapinker He's 100% correct. Time to replace dangerous nuclear with solar. And fracking environmental destructiveness far outweighs benefits
