Keep protesting while I keep cashing my checks. Just paid cash for beautiful beach house in S. Carolina. Love the sea air, see ya suckers.

I find it amusing that some people have a problem with other making a profit. Students, the natural gas reserves are a blessing, not a curse.
Our liberal society seems trained to look at a half empty glass, whilst conservatives view the glass as half full--the one flawless ingredient of the American spirit--optimism!
I see a great future for NEPA now that we have made this rich discovery; and may I emphasize, Students, there is no shame, I repeat, no shame, in making a profit--only a booming economy. Something for the liberals to think about this morning.
Class dismissed!!!

That sea air is gonna smell like oil soon so enjoy it...
And yea, being for solar and wind energy and hybrid cars is so anti-capitalism huh?

There is no shame in making money- but there is shame at making it at the cost of people's health!
@Anonymous- can't wait til the oil tar balls roll up onto your beachfront property. Maybe you can light 'em and roast some marshmallows!

Shame on you Professor Cleaver....making money at the health of others, causing contaminated water, land and air. You sicken me!! Hopefully you are 90 years old ready to kick the bucket and you have no children or grandchildren who will suffer the consequences. What a moron!! Look at what is happening where they have already been drilling for a while. This has nothing to do with being an optomist or a pessimist...just having common sense and not willing to line ones pockets at the detriment of others. All I can say to you and Anomymous...hopefuly every greedy dog will get their day!!!

BTW Anonymous...if you think you didn't cause any damage to the water, air, and health and well being of the people around you, why don't you stick around and drink the water and take a nice deep lung full of the air....there is a special place in Hell for people like you. Hope you like the heat...b/c eternity is a long time. You are a disgrace to mankind. I hope you get what you deserve in the next world...b/c your time on earth is just a blip compared to eternity!! BTW KHARMA IS A BITCH!! And trust me it will catch up to you.....so enjoy your new found wealth while you can. I've seen people who where greedy and cocky like you end up with Parkinson's Disease, cancer etc. And that is the honest to God truth! May you get what you deserve!! Like I said Kharma is a bitch!!

IT WARMS MY HEART TO SEE SUCH CHILD LIKE IDEALISM AMONGST THE READERS.
JUST REMEMBER, STUDENTS, HAD WE ENVIRONMENTAL LOBBYISTS AT THE TURN OF THE CENTURY {1900} WE WOULD ALL BE LIVING WITH KEROSENE LIGHTING AND A BATH ONCE A WEEK. YET, I FIND IT AMUSING THAT THE VERY PRO ENVIRONMENT ANTI BIG OIL ACTIVISTS ARE PROCLAIMING THEIR VIEWS WITH THE USE OF ELECTRICITY BEGAT BY OIL. STUDENTS, SHEER AND BLATANT HYPOCRICY WILL NOT BE TOLERATED---AT LEAST IN THIS LECTURE HALL. CLASS DISMISSED!!!!

History teacher said...

Not idealism or hypocrisy...just plain old common sense something you seem to be lacking Wilbur....it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the dangers of Fracking...you need to become informed. We teach history so we don't repeat our past mistakes. Hopefully most of us have learned something from history. So exactly what are the dangers of an electic light bulb and bathing daily. Oh wait, it would prove hazardous to ones health if the water we bathe in, is contaminated by fracking water. We are not trying to stop progress...just get regulations in place before we jump into this and it is too late. If studies prove it poses a danger to our water supply, it shouldn't be allowed. I can't live without water can you Wilbur?? You are never too old to learn from history....read up!!!

I am enjoying my money. If a tar ball comes up, my new 55 ft yacht will take me away, or my nice new Nissan 360 z car. Either way I am enjoying the money. I went from near foreclosure and I am going to enjoy it. Now I am debt free, everything purchased in cash.
What is worth preserving up there,
lousy jobs, lousy politicians?

Alas, I really can't put much stock in anything offered by anyone who comments from behind the veil of pseudonyms or anonymity. On a positive note, you are a credit to your kind. Class dismissed.

STUDENTS, I DO NOT STAND AGAINST 'SAFEGUARDS', HOWEVER, WE MUST REMEMBER THAT WHERE GOVT. REGULATION IS CONCERNED WE STAND A DANGER OF GIVING ENOUGH ROPE TO THE LIBERAL ELITISTS WITH WHICH WE SHALL HANG OURSELVES. THE GREEN TEAM CONTINUALLY SPOUTS THE USE OF 'CLEAN ENERGY'; WINDMILLS THAT PROVIDE 1/1000TH THE ENERGY OF THE COMMON LIGHT BULB.
DO WE REALLY WISH TO TAKE A DRIVE IN A ELECTRIC CAR THAT WE HAVE TO CHARGE UP EVERY SO MANY MILES??
A FOUR HOUR TRIP TO THE SHORE WOULD BE EXTENDED TO EIGHT HOURS.
THE LEFT, LIKE LITTLE CHILDREN, ARE VERY IDEALISTIC, PRACTICALLY LIVING IN A DREAM WORLD. A WORLD WHERE EVERYONE JOINS HANDS AND THERE IS NARY A CARE AND ALWAYS A HIGH TIDE AND GREEN GRASS. UNFORTUNATELY WE LIVE IN A COMPLEX, DANGEROUS WORLD AND THE SOLUTIONS TO OUR PROBLEMS DO NOT LIE IN PIPE DREAMS. FOR EVERY FOOT FORWARD IN PROGRESS WE MUST GIVE AN INCH OR TWO. STUDENTS, I DO NOT DECLARE THAT DRILLING IS FLAWLESS, FOR THAT WOULD BE FOOLISH, BUT I DO STATE THAT THE BENEFITS IT SHALL PROVIDE FAR OUTWEIGH THE RISKS.
PROGESS, YOUNGSTERS, LIES IN DRILLING FOR GAS, UTILIZING EXISTING OIL RESERVES IN ALASKA, AND INCREASING OUR OFFSHORE DRILLING. IT DOES NOT LIE IN "WINDMILLS". CLASS DISMISSED!!!
