Top Fracking Quotes

Fracking Quotes By Josh Tickell

I believe we will see a biofuels resurgence. While gas prices skyrocket and we continue to wage wars for oil, while spills, fracking, tar sands and the oil madness of our empire continue, people are waking up and realizing that you can't be against petroleum and against fuels that come from nature. — Josh Tickell

Fracking Quotes By Ken Salazar

I would say to everybody that hydraulic fracking is safe, — Ken Salazar

Fracking Quotes By Nicola Sturgeon

I'm not a scientist. If there is a risk to our environment, there will be no fracking. — Nicola Sturgeon

Fracking Quotes By Russell Gold

I don't fear fracking. I fear carbon — Russell Gold

Fracking Quotes By Bob Beauprez

Fracking has been used for more than 60 years to successfully drill over a million oil and gas wells in the U.S. Nonetheless, the prevailing mythology on the radical left is that the technology is 'poisoning our children' by polluting the water we drink and the air we breathe. — Bob Beauprez

Fracking Quotes By Russell Gold

Take the time to get it right. There'll be gas tomorrow night — Russell Gold

Fracking Quotes By Michael Hudson

You have a choice. Either you can have more oil, or more clean water. Fracking is not good for the water supply. — Michael Hudson

Fracking Quotes By Mike DeWine

I'm for the fracking. I think it's an opportunity for Ohio to really get a lot of jobs. But we have to do it right. We have to really take a deep breath, do it right, make sure the public is protected, make sure our land is protected. — Mike DeWine

Fracking Quotes By Michael Hudson

Nothing could be better for the economy than to get rid of fracking. — Michael Hudson

Fracking Quotes By Josh Fox

We need policy change, and the most important thing people can do is to contribute and participate in the political process. We have to vote climate change deniers and people who will create subsidies for the fossil fuel industry out of office. We have to protest when bad decisions are being made about fracking or tar sands. — Josh Fox

Fracking Quotes By Rory Bremner

If the oil runs out, we'll be reduced to fracking Alex Salmond. — Rory Bremner

Fracking Quotes By Russell Gold

Fracking ensures that the age of oil-and it's princely hydrocarbon cousin, the natural gas molecule-will not end because we have run out of fossil fuels. But it may end because burning these wonderful fuels puts the planet farther down a path we don't want to head down — Russell Gold

Fracking Quotes By Bernie Sanders

I'm very proud that the state of Vermont banned fracking. I hope communities all over California, and all over America do the same. — Bernie Sanders

Fracking Quotes By Jimmy Fallon

Some areas near Dallas experienced a 3.5-magnitude earthquake, which some blame on fracking. However, scientists say that it was more likely aftershocks from Chris Christie celebrating at the Cowboys game. — Jimmy Fallon

Fracking Quotes By Steven D. Levitt

When it comes to solving problems, one of the best ways to start is by putting away your moral compass. Why? When you are consumed with the rightness or wrongness of a given issue - whether it's fracking or gun control or genetically engineered food - it's easy to lose track of what the issue actually is. A moral compass can convince you that all the answers are obvious (even when they're not); that there is a bright line between right and wrong (when often there isn't); and, worst, that you are certain you already know everything you need to know about a subject so you stop trying to learn more. — Steven D. Levitt

Fracking Quotes By Steven D. Levitt

When you are consumed with the rightness or wrongness of a given issue - whether it's fracking or gun control or genetically engineered food - it's easy to lose track of what the issue actually is. — Steven D. Levitt

Fracking Quotes By Michael Brune

Rome wasn't built in a day, and we won't replace fossil fuels with clean energy based on the events of a single week, either. But the important thing to remember is that, once they happen, clean energy victories are irreversible. No one will tear down wind farms because they are nostalgic for fracking in our watersheds. And nobody will pull down their solar panels because they miss having mercury in their tuna or asthma inhalers for their kids. Because once we leave fossil fuels behind, we are never going back. — Michael Brune

Fracking Quotes By Adam Briggle

Fracking exemplifies the technological wager, by which I mean a gamble or even a faith that we can transform the world in the pursuit of narrowly defined goals and successfully manage the broader unintended consequences that result. In many ways, we are gambling on present innovations. I think that if we are to live with high technology we cannot avoid this wager. The question is whether we can establish conditions to make it a fair and reasonable bet. In the case of fracking, I will argue, these conditions are largely not in place (3). — Adam Briggle

Fracking Quotes By Bill Richardson

Fracking is doable if there's full disclosure of all chemicals used. Secondly, science dictates the policy rather than politics. Third, there's collaboration between environmental groups and the natural gas industry. — Bill Richardson

Fracking Quotes By Jared Bernstein

What you don't hear from these GOP candidates is that they really can't go after this president on domestic production of oil and gas. He's actually done quite a lot. In fact, I would suspect they're environmentalists who are worried that we're doing too much drilling and fracking, in fact. I know that for a fact. — Jared Bernstein

Fracking Quotes By Josh Fox

What we've got is the wholesale embrace of fracking domestically, internationally and for export. And this couldn't be further from what we really need to do to address climate change. — Josh Fox

Fracking Quotes By Arthur L. Herman

Letting the greens dictate your energy choices, whether it's halting the XL Pipeline or fracking in New York, isn't just bad economics. It can also leave your rivals and enemies controlling your energy destiny. — Arthur L. Herman

Fracking Quotes By Frances Beinecke

Americans are worried about pollution - oil trains running through their towns, fracking in their neighborhoods, coal dust in their air. They're worried about what the future will look like for their children if carbon pollution continues unchecked. — Frances Beinecke

Fracking Quotes By Harold Hamm

The oil patch pays good. They're decent jobs paying between 50 and 70 thousand a year. Fracking has a big impact on the oil consumption in the United States. — Harold Hamm

Fracking Quotes By Joan Osborne

The interests behind fracking are very powerful and they've managed to control the dialogue for a while, because they have forced people to sign disclosure agreements; people who have had negative experiences who are not able to speak out because they've signed disclosure agreements with the gas companies. Things like this. They've managed to strangle the opposing viewpoint, but it does seem like the people who are against fracking have started to gain some traction and the realities of what an environmental nightmare it is are starting to become known. — Joan Osborne

Fracking Quotes By Ian Somerhalder

Oil is dead, on its way to extinction. As a group of citizens we must speak up and act towards ending fracking. Let your government know you will not tolerate a technology that not only poisons your family but our creature family at large; let them know you want sustainable power and all the jobs that will come with that new growth. — Ian Somerhalder

Fracking Quotes By Anonymous

mentioned the network's coverage of fracking, a process to extract oil and gas that has helped the United States become the world's leading oil producer. Russia, another major oil producer, sees this development as a threat, and RT offers a constant stream of stories on the health dangers of fracking. — Anonymous

Fracking Quotes By Titus Welliver

The issue of fracking is a stick in the hornet's nest. — Titus Welliver

Fracking Quotes By Ken Salazar

Hydraulic fracking is very much a necessary part of the future of natural gas. — Ken Salazar

Fracking Quotes By Ben Shapiro

Matt Damon's anti-fracking diatribe was funded by the royal family of the United Arab Emirates. — Ben Shapiro

Fracking Quotes By Michael Hudson

Oil now, as a result of the Saudi production, is priced so low that there are not going to be new fracking investments made. A lot of companies that have gone into fracking are heavily debt-leveraged, and are beginning to default on their loans. The next wave of defaults that banks are talking about is probably going to be in the fracking industry. When the costs of production are so much more than they can end up getting for the oil, they just stop producing and stop paying their loans. — Michael Hudson

Fracking Quotes By Russell Brand

Im happy to be a part of the conversation, if more young people are talking about fracking instead of twerking were heading in the right direction. The people that govern us dont want an active population who are politically engaged, they want passive consumers distracted by the spectacle of which I accept I am a part. — Russell Brand

Fracking Quotes By Michael Hudson

High prices can be the result of speculation, and maybe plunging prices can be attributed to the end of speculation, but low prices over time aren't caused by speculation. That's oversupply, mainly by Saudi Arabia flooding the market with low-priced oil to discourage rival oil producers, whether it's Russian oil or American fracking. — Michael Hudson

Fracking Quotes By Jeff Goodell

Mark Ruffalo, aka the Incredible Hulk, is the natural gas industry's worst nightmare: a serious, committed activist who is determined to use his star power as a superhero in the hottest movie of the moment to draw attention the environmental and public health risks of fracking. — Jeff Goodell

Fracking Quotes By George Gilder

From Pastor Malthus to the Club of Rome's Limits to Growth; from hysteria over DDT, PCBs, and natural gas "fracking"; to continuing bouts of chemo-phobia and population panic; the achievements of capitalism have suffered a long series of detractions. The factitious and febrile campaign against global warming is only the latest binge of self-abuse among the children of prosperity. — George Gilder

Fracking Quotes By Ian Somerhalder

Fracking is our biggest enemy right now in the U.S. Actually, not just in the U.S., because all our water systems are interconnected. Whether you're reading this in New York State or in Japan, fracking is screwing you over. — Ian Somerhalder

Fracking Quotes By Lauren Groff

Fracking depressed, deep shale shattering — Lauren Groff

Fracking Quotes By Sean Lennon

Natural gas has been sold as clean energy. But when the gas comes from fracturing bedrock with about five million gallons of toxic water per well, the word "clean" takes on a disturbingly Orwellian tone. Don't be fooled. Fracking for shale gas is in truth dirty energy. — Sean Lennon

Fracking Quotes By Rosamund Lupton

The first documentary I watched on hydraulic fracturing was Gasland by Josh Fox. Since then I've read, watched and listened to many articles, reports, speeches and blogs about fracking but Gasland remains the stand-out piece for me. The Sky is Pink by Josh Fox and the Gasland team can be seen on Vimeo and YouTube. — Rosamund Lupton

Fracking Quotes By Mark Ruffalo

The fracking chemicals sit in open pits, get trucked around, or sent through pipelines that can burst. What do you think happens when frack chemicals and floods and storm swollen rivers mix? — Mark Ruffalo

Fracking Quotes By James Lovelock

Gas is almost a give-away in the U.S. at the moment. They've gone for fracking in a big way. This is what makes me very cross with the greens for trying to knock it ... Let's be pragmatic and sensible and get Britain to switch everything to methane. We should be going mad on it. — James Lovelock

Fracking Quotes By Kevin Hearne

What's a fracking Cylon? — Kevin Hearne

Fracking Quotes By Yoko Ono

Fracking kills, and it doesn't just kill us. It kills the land, nature and, eventually, the whole world. — Yoko Ono

Fracking Quotes By Yoko Ono

Fracking is an incredible risk to the human race, I don't know why they even thought of doing it. — Yoko Ono

Fracking Quotes By Margaret Atwood

Would I laugh?"
"Matter of fact, you would," says Zeb. "Heart like shale. What you need is a good fracking. — Margaret Atwood

Fracking Quotes By Paul Russell

And Chris remembers: what they used to talk about was desire. Impossible, longing dreams. Delirious, aching confusion. That was the vital element they lived off ... because it was the one thing that mattered. Not things, or achievements, or politics, or fracking or anything else: just sweet naked blameless unending desire. — Paul Russell

Fracking Quotes By David Suzuki

It's not unexpected that shooting massive amounts of water, sand, and chemicals at high pressure into the earth to shatter shale and release natural gas might shake things up. But earthquakes aren't the worst problem with fracking. — David Suzuki

Fracking Quotes By Kenneth Fisher

Environmentalists should like fracking for its relative cleanliness. But they don't. They have made a bugaboo out of the chemicals in fracking fluids, which supposedly can leach into groundwater sources. I'm convinced they're dead wrong. Ultimately, good technology with a cost advantage will win out over paranoia. — Kenneth Fisher

Fracking Quotes By Josh Fox

First of all, the idea that natural gas is better than coal is a lie, especially when it comes to fracking for natural gas. It is a lie that was bought into by a lot of Democrats and a lot of environmentalists because I think they wanted to have a win against something; against coal. — Josh Fox

Fracking Quotes By Michael Hudson

I think the less fracking there is, the better it is for the economy and society. — Michael Hudson

Fracking Quotes By Mario Gabelli

How do we take the bad out of fracking? How do you contain the water? How do we make a profit out of that? Get there early. — Mario Gabelli

Fracking Quotes By Mark Ruffalo

It is a fact that our fresh water is becoming more scarce and that the new ways we are getting energy in America - fracking, mountaintop removal, cyclic steam extraction, deep-sea drilling - all pollute water, pollute the air, and pollute our soil and food. — Mark Ruffalo

Fracking Quotes By Kenneth Fisher

Fracking opens up vast tracts of the U.S. to exploitation by gas drillers. There's enough energy under our feet to last us for decades, maybe centuries. — Kenneth Fisher

Fracking Quotes By Carol Dansereau

A strong argument can be made that Democrats are actually the greater evil, not the lesser one. Black Agenda Report (which provides "news, information and analysis from the black left") uses the phrase "the more effective evil" to describe Barack Obama. While their analysis has focused on non-environmental issues, it holds true for Obama's environmental record as well. Obama appears to be much more effective at advancing anti-environmental policies and programs than Republicans would be. One of the main reasons for this is Demophilia. If Mitt Romney had expanded offshore and onshore oil drilling, promoted nuclear power and fracking, attacked EPA rules, and pushed through trade agreements written by private corporations there would have been huge protests. Yet Obama does all these things with impunity while environmental organizations barely object. Demophilia enables the Democratic Party to get away with it, virtually unchallenged. Regardless — Carol Dansereau

Fracking Quotes By Russell Gold

Fracking is different. The risks of any single well are tiny compared to a nuclear power plant. But several hundred wells? Several thousand? — Russell Gold

Fracking Quotes By Gregory Zuckerman

George Mitchell wasn't the nation's first fracker. Mitchell was mighty early, though. "The majors didn't bother with fracking, they didn't want to fool with it," he says. "I saw it as the new technology. — Gregory Zuckerman

Fracking Quotes By Frances Beinecke

Young people are already leading on climate action. I see it at rallies to reject the Keystone XL dirty tar sands pipeline. I see it in the push to demand justice for communities being run over by fracking operations. — Frances Beinecke

Fracking Quotes By Bob Beauprez

In my native Boulder County, Colorado, the fracking fanatics are out in force. They are marching door-to-door, petitions and mythology in hand, and they are storming city council and county commissioner meetings. — Bob Beauprez

Fracking Quotes By Eleanor Bowman

We've got to stop fracking the earth, fucking women, and screwing the poor. — Eleanor Bowman

Fracking Quotes By Josh Fox

There are regulations all over the spectrum that have to be done to the existing situation right now. But the only policy that makes sense is a nationwide moratorium: no new fracking, no new fracked wells. — Josh Fox

Fracking Quotes By Lauren Groff

He had nowhere to be; he had nothing to do; he was deeply depressed, fracking depressed, deep-shale shattered. — Lauren Groff
