O'Malley and Sanders have opposed fracking. Clinton has not.
Still, the chart is a very valuable summary. Thanks for posting!

This is a great infograph...just too bad it didn't include fracking. It's understandable though.
Fracking employs many people & since 'they' shipped so many of our jobs overseas, our economy would take a huge hit if we ban fracking like we should....anyone who might run on an anti-fracking platform would be crucified, sadly.

(11,175 posts)7. I'm more optimistic about the politics.
Yes, "jobs" is the mantra that's often invoked against environmental policies. Nevertheless, I think public opinion is moving against fracking. With most bad environmental decisions, the consequences are less immediate and obvious than "Wait, we're causing earthquakes?"
