    Literally the last time fracking was almost profitable.... the oil companies were probably losing money on fracking and shutting down production on fracking when that was published.

    One of the biggest ways that fracking helps to benefit the economy is through job creation. Fracking has made it possible for millions of Americans to find a job with a decent wage. Fracking has already helped to create more than 2.1 million jobs, and by 2035, that number is expected to soar to 3.5 million.Jul 16, 2018

    You are just as confused as Biden on this

    I work in the oil industry and I'm not confused.

    Oil companies aren't in business to lose money. Fracking costs them money... and bad press. They have scaled down fracking to almost no production right now. They only frack to keep their leases because the government forces them to... or they wouldn't be doing it at all.

    I'll never be out of work, I do so much more than work in oilfields and every time I leave I don't care if I ever go back to one... plus, I'm already wealthy.

    There is only one fracking operation going on in Alaska that employs a handful of people and they are only operating because they signed a lease that forces them to produce when Obama was President... the company is taking huge losses and more than likely hopes the government shuts them down so they can survive as a business.

    Biden isn't a threat to me or Alaska at all.

    Yeah that’s what I was wondering. Not a great moment imo ..still the point is he wants longterm to move away from fossil fuels, fracking which even a lot of big oil companies recognize alt energy is the future. But trump will make hay of it regardless.

    We will see if it matters at this point , like 35% of LV have voted lol

    It’s labor secretary lol. He has more responsibility as a senator right now. Also, unions love him so it would be very popular & good fit for Bernie who has fought for the working class his entire career.

    Just queue up the “Ether” instrumental when you watch this. Unfiltered Obama is the best Obama.

    I was going to vote for Kayne today but it looks like he has not shot at winning unfortunately. Proud to cast my vote again this year for Trump. Happy with all that he has done in these four years. He really turned around a lot of Obama’s illegal laws that were implemented. #MAGA #TRUMP2020
