Frack Free Colorado event in Denver, Tues, Oct 23
|
Hello to the climbing community in the Colorado Front Range, |
|
My opinion, if you hate fracking and energy development, you stop using the internet, quit heating your house, stop driving your car and don't buy anything that uses plastics or any other organic chemical. Either become self sustaining and stop using technolgy, or help this (fracking) technology move forward. |
|
This attitude is based on an irrational opposition to fraccing combined with an utter lack of understanding of the technical facts and history. The website cited is filled with distortions, half truths and misrepresentations. |
|
As an evinronmental engineer, I urge people to educate themselves on the issue before blindly participating in an anti-fracking event such as this. |

Can a mod please lock this thread? There's another fracking thread that turned into a discussion of individual views: mountainproject.com/v/frack… |

Sad to see New Belgium sponsoring something like this - easy marketing for them but sad to see them put their name behind such nonsense. Edit to add: OP is encouraging people to attend the event by taking the bus - just FYI, some buses in RTD's fleet are powered by natural gas. Better make sure you don't show up getting off one of those buses. |

Damn. I thought this was going to be a co-ed Viper pilot drink-off orgy and poker run |

I just think if people want to "discuss" their general thoughts on fracking, they should turn to this thread (which I thought was pretty substantive) or start another. EDITED to say my original post was addressing kneejerk reactionary drivel a la RandyW, not the folks who are discussing the event specifically. |

Educate yourself about this stuff, and don't listen to Darryl Hannah. Many people in this country act like energy companies run around w/o check and that's the furthest thing from the truth. Your ipad using, car driving, Kardashian watching, liberal hate america ass should look in the mirror and hate yourself. If you posted on this thread, you should probably support energy development since you like using energy... period. This country really could use to stop being so damn hypocrytical about energy development. We use exponentially more energy per capita than any other devloped nation. |
