The Fossil Fuel and Natural Gas industries have launched an all out publicity blitz to skew the conversation around the highly controversial practice of Hydraulic Fracturing (Hydrofracking). Their targeted commercial spots on Fox, CNN, MSNBC and other channels during the main news casts are insidious in how they seek to make the sheep feel good about being lead to slaughter. The spots expertly lull viewers into a feeling of safety, security, and hope by focusing on ‘creating jobs’ and having ‘energy independence’ and enough energy to last for ’100 years’. They FAIL to mention a few, pesky details that might dampen public opinion and get in the way of the 3 trillion dollars the fossil fuel industry stands to make in the process.

I know humor is necessary to keep from losing one’s mind, but I can’t watch this subject matter and laugh. These people are running our government, leading us to occupy other countries with our military and fucking up our own country. Thanks ironic news, even though I don’t like the message, it’s something we all need to hear.
Poland Springs – the next “must have” natural gas source!
that needs to go viral
But I feel so good when I see a tiny little new leaf sprouting out of the soil. /s
I hear ya Hotdog. This one might not have been a laugh out loud one…maybe more of a “yer gosh darn right!” one. You clearly know about the fracking issues, which many people, surprisingly, do not. I showed this video to some friends who didn’t know but cared once I pointed it out. Then, later, we saw a natural gas ad on TV and one of the guys said ‘oh there they are selling their BS’. I was thrilled that the vid had that impact. Glad you watched.
Glad you commented-
That is what I think
Please help by reposting or recommending! Thanks!
… then the sunlight ignites the leaf and the lawn bursts into flames…
