This is a cool video that talks about what our fuel consumption is and how we can lower it and reduce our gas prices. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhUvvIqAmas

Natural Gas cleaner than Gasoline? Do a search on fracking. They had to do exceptions from the environmental law protecting fresh water for gas and oil companies to make the drilling possible.

As usual using even more fossile fuel even faster at any cost is the solution to all problems with the economy.

so you are saying the machines used for fracking are using more fossil fuels than we do by using gasoline instead of natural gas?

[8$PG]

No, just that the fracking process is affecting the environment even more than pumping up and refining crude oil to gasoline. By polluting ground water and fresh water ending up in the streams and in your drinking glass with hazardous chemicals and the same happens to plants and animals that we might eat.

In the long run I don't think fracking is an economically or ecologically sustainable method because of what it does to the land. It only looks good on paper neglecting what effects it has on the environment.

I recommend doing a search on fracking
