That's the good ol republican way. Wait till people start getting sick and dying to decide to decide it " might be unsafe". The mighty dollar trumps everything, right? Just try and imagine if it was one your family members that got sick or worse. I guess with your thinking, it would be oh well, at least we are making money on that oil.
Like it or not there is no viable alternative for oil in the near future. I've seen little, very little, evidence that fracking is hazardous. If it is why isn't the DEMOCRAT administration shutting it down? But I do know that extremist environmentalists are making it difficult to have a decent economy so that we can put people back to work. And even if we do everything perfectly here, which we can't, overseas they don't share our love for spotted owls and minnows. No one wants a filthy, hazardous environment, but comparing what we do in the States with what's going on in China, for example, it's laughable.
