UK Anti-Fracking Movement Grows

An exciting tour by my Goddaughter Liz Arnold around Europe to talk about the awful effects of fracking for poisonous natural gas has seemed to spur a movement in Europe that is even stronger than the burgeoning one here in the US. She has seen the largest, strongest, most global union in the UK march in huge numbers in the streets of London and the Labour Party oppose fracking.

There are fully 800,000 jobs in the US to create green, sustainable jobs from rebuilding the electrification infrastructure and developing solar and wind power across the country. There are untold number of jobs to fix, expand, and deliver rail transportation.

There are massive public transits like we have in Philly to get cars off the street.

We do not need to destroy our planet and ourselves to power ourselves.
