When Your Science Runs Into A Policy

When You Live In A Watershed Area, In A Pristine Area, And You Could Watch This Whole Place Fall Apart In Front Of Your Eyes, You Don't Sell Your Soul For A Buck.

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.

It's Remarkable To Watch The President, With All The Weight Of His Ability To Command Rhetoric With The Bully Pulpit Behind Him, Make A Clear Speech About Climate Change And Why That's So Important For Us All To Focus On. And That Is A Rather Remarkable Thing To See. It's Enormously Powerful.

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.
