If you have any doubts about the extravagant claims emanating from corporate media about the oil bonanza from shale fracking, then regard this 1:44m video as only an introduction to a wealth of information from shalebubble.org. These wild claims are another manifestation of the delusional thinking of ruling capitalist elites whose system requires constant growth to exist.
Those who are so thoroughly addicted to the power and wealth supplied by their suicidal system of capitalism will not hesitate to secure their fixes regardless of the catastrophic effects these operations will have on our climate, the environment, and us. Those of us in the Ninety-Nine Percent and others in the One Percent who are not yet hopelessly addicted must become informed on this issue simply because the future of succeeding generations of our species is at stake--which happen to be your children, grandchildren, etc.
