Since 2005 when fracking of long horizontal wells first began in ernest, Us annual production of nat gas has risen from 23.5 tcf to 40.7 tcf. In one way or another most of this nat gas has displaced combustion from higher carbon intensive sources. How much? Well if we use coal as the basis , then 1.3 billion tonnes have been displaced Well that would mean less pollution from a hell of a lot of tepees.
Perhaps the indigenous who value their resources should know what is really at stake.
There it is get my joke?
