    Got a bunch of shit on /r/dankleft for saying that this shit is making me not vote for Biden as a PA voter. Fracking is literally poisoning my water and air. Why would I vote for people who continue that?

    Anyway, a single fracking well outside of Pittsburgh released more Methane over 20 days than most countries produce in a year.

      This figure, from one well in less than three weeks, eclipsed the annual amount of methane that is emitted by the oil and gas industries of France, Norway, and the Netherlands combined

      Holy shit, this is totally crazy, in three weeks more than all these countries combined.
      But yeah, let's just phase it out, no problem at all. :this-is-fine:
