When Your Science Runs Into A Policy

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.

When You Frack A Well, You're Exploding Methane Up Into The Atmosphere. So, Barack Obama, By Supporting Natural Gas, And Also Talking About Climate Change Is Literally Burning His Own Inaugural Address. And He's Doing It With Natural Gas.

The First Line In The First Gasland Is: “i’m Not A Pessimist. I’ve Always Had A Great Deal Of Faith In People That We Won’t Succumb To Frenzy Or Rage Or Greed. That We’ll Figure Out A Solution Without Destroying The Things That We Love.” I Have Not Lost That Sense.

I Have To Have Faith That We're Going To Succeed In Transforming Where We Get Our Energy From. The Big Worry Is Whether Or Not We're Going To Do It Before It's Too Late. And I Think Nobody Knows The Answer To That.
