Apparently you missed his entire point about regulation and protecting clean water. nt TheWraith Jan 2012 #3

yep SunsetDreams Jan 2012 #4

ok thanks limpyhobbler Jan 2012 #16

I didn't miss his point about opening millions of acres of public lands and ocean XemaSab Jan 2012 #17

He put a whole helluva lot more emphasis on developing alternative/renewables. Old and In the Way Jan 2012 #5

no kidding SunsetDreams Jan 2012 #9

oh ok, thanks for setting me straight on that. What did he say about natural gas then? limpyhobbler Jan 2012 #13

Clarity please. Texasgal Jan 2012 #8

basically, the natural gas drillers are using all these toxic chemicals and it's poisoning our water limpyhobbler Jan 2012 #25

I did not hear him say that in fact he said obtaining the gas safely without harm to people or lonestarnot Jan 2012 #11

but it already is harming. He needs to say stop fracking until it is safe. limpyhobbler Jan 2012 #14
