    why are we destroying our environment with shale rock when we can destroy our environment with hydroelectric and get waterskiing out of it

      We’ve already dammed the like 3 rivers we have. We just don’t really have any major ones here :/

      We do have copious amounts of shale rock and it’s pretty much the only natural resource we have that’s worth the money to mine. Which is why a lot of people aren’t happy about reducing it.

      But even fossil fuels aren’t as reliable as people seem to think. The fancy new shale rock generator has been down as much as it has been up. They keep investing more money into it. Yay taxes.
