"Big Oil" makes a fraction of what "Big Government" makes on each gallon of gas. And they had to take all the risk and do all the work.
This is more true than most people realize. Fuel taxes are at an insane rate these days.

Maybe we want to be the last ones to have it.
So...we don't want fracking because we are using up our own, or because it gets in your water?
Most of the majors run about 4 cents profit per gallon. Taxes are north of 50 cents.

I would love to see solid evidence that fracking is the sole cause of an earthquake.
Do I care if they start fracking near my home? Yes, but not because of earthquakes or water pollution.

Were earthquakes happening regularly in OK before extensive fracking?
Try living without oil, natural gas or things made from petroleum porducts.
I get that. It's just funny because a month ago it was "fracking is safe you guys are idiots" and now it's "yeah it may not be safe but so what you need oil!"
And no one is saying we could live without all, that's a silly argument. My question is are we in such desperate need of it that doing risky things to get it is necessary? I'm 100% certain there are ways to cut down our petroleum consumption as a nation.
You tell me. I'm not a geologist. Nor do I care about what happens in Oklahoma.
Then why are you posting in a thread about fracking in Oklahoma? Did you read the article in the first post?
