    Pay no attention to the US consistently smashing new fossil fuel production records since the last decade…

    If we cut fossil fuel subsidies, billionaires would have slightly less money! Obviously neither political party could allow that. We dont even have a viable candidate this election who’s not pro-fracking.

    Even tho in coal friendly battleground states like Pennsylvania, 58% support banning it.

    Pennsylvania voters continue to be split over fracking. A poll out this week, which surveyed 700 likely voters in September, shows 58% support a ban on fracking while 42% oppose it.

    But as long as both candidates agree. It literally doesn’t matter what voters want on the issue.

    So we’ll keep destroying the environment and causing climate change to accelerate then act shocked when every year extreme weather events get worse.
