We're frack'd
At this point, Hillary Clinton seems to be the presumptive Democratic nominee, and if Trump is the presumptive Republican nominee as expected, chances are great that the US is finally going to have their first female president. Which is all well and good, even though some are gutted with the prospect of having yet another representative of what's been shaping up to become one among several political dynasties (Clinton, Bush), and yet another establishment representative.
If the latter is not sufficiently cringe-inducing to those progressive-leaning folks who'd've rather preferred Sanders for president, there's another problem with Hillary that may cause quite a few concerns. And it's this:
Bernie Sanders Will Ban Fracking. Hillary Clinton ‘Sold Fracking to the World’
and
On Eve of Caucuses, Clinton Rakes in Fracking Cash
and
How Hillary Clinton's State Department Sold Fracking to the World
"A trove of secret documents details the US government's global push for shale gas."
In a time and age where it has become very likely that the world has already moved past the tipping point where runaway, devastating changes to the natural balance are almost inevitable, the prospect of a Clinton-in-chief seems to bode very poorly for our chances of halting that change. Given the above evidence, Hillary's recent actions and stances strongly indicate that she has actually become more conservative on energy policy than she already was. With the US potentially steering away from its recent commitments to tackle climate change under a possible Clinton administration, the prospects in that regard are starting to look rather dour.
Let's just hope she doesn't get a Nobel Peace Prize a few weeks after her inauguration.
