Fracking in Texas: What do students think?

By |2014-10-25T13:46:10-04:00October 25th, 2014|

Given that Texas leads the nation in oil and gas production, and that hydraulic fracturing (fracking) has been the driver in this jobs renaissance, one might think that Texas college students, especially at the state's flagship university, would be well informed on oil and gas production and on fracking in particular. The truth is that, despite the fact that cheap energy is vital for economic growth and expensive energy hurts the poor and those on fixed incomes the most, about half of the students interviewed had no opinion or just did not know what fracking is. This creates an opportunity for education -- and if Texas students are so uninformed, one might assume that students in other states might also benefit from a sound public education campaign like Real Energy Not Green Energy.

Bell: Use fracking to subdue Russia

The best weapon against Putin’s aggression in the Ukraine and elsewhere lies right beneath our noses and feet. Unleashing America’s abundant oil and natural gas resources can not only greatly disempower Russia’s stranglehold threats against Europe and other allies, but can also strengthen our ties with those countries while providing energy independence, economic benefits, and jobs to increase strength at home. Although major expansion of U.S. oil and gas exports to energy-thirsty Europe cannot be achieved overnight, commitments to do so can have immediate leveraging effects around the world. With oil and gas accounting for more than half of Russia’s federal [...]

Fracking is greener than “green”!

Deroy Murdock dispels myths put forward by hysterical opponents of fracking (and by those with vested interests in other energy sources). Natural gas produced from fracked wells means lower CO2 emissions, much less water used in production than for corn ethanol, a much safer environment for wildlife than, for example, wind turbines, and a much smaller imprint than solar cells.

America Can Loosen Europe’s Russian Energy Noose

By |2022-03-07T11:56:58-05:00March 7th, 2022|

Europe’s self-inflicted abandonment of its own energy resources resulting in dependence on Russian oil seems to generally follow Lenin’s playbook when he reportedly quipped that “capitalists will sell us the rope by which we hang them.”
