Wouldn't it be something if the same companies that are shoving hydraulic fracturing down our throats are also designing transportation that runs on natural gas? The same people who tell us that fracking will help reduce our dependence on foreign oil, fail to mention that it poisons the very ground we live on, grow food in, and draw water from. Fracking amounts to nothing more than revenue at the expense of plants, animals and humans.
Of course, no one can force people to use natural gas, no matter how ingenious the marketing or how punitive the legislation. Survival in a market economy depends on who controls the market. Fortunately, the consumer has the power. Unfortunately, he doesn't know how to wield it. The vast majority of consumers, inundated by a veritable avalanche of profit derivatives,
lacks the time and opportunity to organize any resistance.
We don't have to let oil companies poison the Earth. They won't frack it if we won't buy it.
Consumers (people) need to question the media and political rhetoric. Any time anyone appeals to your sense of patriotism in an effort to get you to do something, remember, "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel." (Samuel Johnson)
