If we polluted the whole Midwest would that be worth it... Son have y'all ever looked at them African countries they drill in...son the soil is so fukking polluted its Cray

I don't know what's hard to understand. I'm saying the world should move to green energy instead of fracking for this stuff. The idea that this is a great way to countervail OPEC is spin!
When it comes to profits the environment takes a back seat.
thats on you my nikka
But you have no share of the profits so what you for??? lol
Exxon's wealth don't buy yo health
I'm not anything. It's a reality. Look around you. I could really give a fukk about ExxonMobil. There's nothing romantic or interesting about oil companies.

that corporate profits represent the theoretical "unstoppable force"
I wouldn't say unstoppable. But corporate history has shown time and time again they operate via the CREAM method.

green energy sounds great, but in reality it's just too damn costly. until they develop better technology for green projects its not feasible. Greenpeace spins their shyt too (or wherever you're getting your info).

Germany exports 'more energy than ever'Published: 9 Nov 12 15:05 CET
Despite regular apocalyptic warnings of black-outs due to the nuclear power shutdown, a recent boom in renewables means that Germany is exporting more electricity than ever before, new figures show.
Germany exported the equivalent of the output of two large power stations - 12.3 terawatt hours - during the first three quarters of the year, according to a preliminary report from the German Association of Energy and Water Industries (BDEW), seen by the business weekly Manager Magazin.
By comparison, Germany had to import more than it exported over the first three quarters of last year, when the balance was -0.2 terawatt hours. But that was the exception during recent years - since 2006, Germany has consistently exported well over five terawatt hours more than it has imported.
Experts say the surplus is thanks to the massive development of renewable energies in Germany. Huge quantities of wind and solar energy have reduced prices. "The low prices mean that more energy is being exported from Germany to the neighbouring countries," Bloomberg market analyst Brian Potskowski told the magazine.
The situation is particularly dramatic in the Netherlands, where energy providers are reportedly shutting down gas power stations to buy cheap German electricity.
German energy giant RWE confirmed that this was true. "We are seeing an increasingly closer interconnection among the European markets," a spokesman told Manager Magazin.
This now includes France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany. "The power stations of participating countries compete with each other, and electricity is produced in the stations that make the cheapest offer," the spokesman said.
Thanks to the boom in renewables, Germany's wind and solar power parks are currently making the best offers. But coal power stations are also producing cheaper energy. Gas power stations, meanwhile, are relatively expensive.
The BDEW said the export surplus was also due to German regulations. "German power station operators must keep sufficient capacities for safety reasons," a spokesman for the association said. Power plants that have to guarantee supply during periods of high consumption also have to produce energy when demand is low, making surpluses often available for export.
But the export surplus does not necessarily mean there won't be shortages in the winter - on particularly cloudy, windless days, Germany could still be dependent on energy reserves from Austria.
The operation might require so much water it would compete with Denver and agriculture for vital supplies, the GAO report warned, could pollute underground streams, affect fish and other wildlife, and kick up so much dirt it would leave national monuments in a cloud of dust.
this shale oil is some bullsh1t brehs don't fall for it and don't sell these lands to companies.
Dont matter if u own, the government can take it through eminent domain.
right now somewhere an exxon exec just creamed his pants thinking about how he's going to make billions while being subsadized AND paying no taxes.
It's the "hat trick" of public rape.
