With the EPA having nearly completed its war on coal, the next enemy of environmentalists will be natural gas.
The opening guns in the campaign against natural gas were fired by the Sierra Club. The battle plan is called “beyond natural gas.”
Here is how the Sierra Club portrays the issue:
| “Fossil fuels have no part in America’s energy future – coal, oil and natural gas are literally poisoning us. The emergence of natural gas as a significant part of our energy mix is particularly frightening because it dangerously postpones investment in clean energy at a time when we should be doubling down on wind, solar and energy efficiency.”—Robin Mann, Sierra Club President |
It’s troubling, at best, to see the Sierra Club adopt an approach that hurts the United States, its economy, and its citizens.
The Sierra Club’s web site contains gross inaccuracies (call them lies) about fracking and natural gas.
The sentence from their web site, “[Fracking] is known to contaminate drinking water, pollute the air, and cause earthquakes” is 100% wrong on one count, and misleading on the other two. Their manifesto, also on their web site, contains a wealth of inaccurate information.

These idiots ride around in their little electric cars which are powered by ….. electricity which is powered by……. coal plants. Now if you don’t live in an area where solar and wind won’t work then I guess it is back to candles – but the soot from the candles will probably pollute to and if you are cold you can’t light a fire because fireplaces are even worse than coal plants! (they are illegal in California in new homes and have been for years) So let’s move all these wackos to their own country, build a big fence around them so they can’t get out and see how they solve the problem! It will make for great reality TV.
California the E=GREEN capital of the USA has exported their pollution from electrical power generation. They buy from Mexico, Coal power from Nevada and NUCLEAR power from Arizona. Then they drive electric cars and brag how advanced they are in the environmental areas. Live in FANTASY LAND WITH PETER PAN AND TINKER BELL.
“[Fracking] is known to contaminate drinking water, pollute the air, and cause earthquakes” ?
This seems like a deception or a Lie. Sierra Club is known to make false claims about contaminating drinking water, polluting the air, and causing Birth Certificate Fraudulent Quakes. This is more true than the Slimy Club.
