  Mar 20 2012: I think we are going to need as much energy as possible for the future, that is true. I think the future of energy is a DECENTRALIZED one, one where every home owner is also an independent producer, and seller of energy. Fracking gas extraction is dangerous and can have serious environmental consequences. Do we really want to sacrifice our well being and health in order to squeeze out another dollar before the renewable paradigm finally takes over? In the end this is about making money, not about the absolute NEED to have access to this energy. Japan has shut down 52 of 54 nuclear power plants because they realize its a risk to their well being to continue to operate. How many contaminated water supplies will it take to put an end to fracking?
