When asked whether it was feasible to leave all the remaining fossil fuels in the ground, Dr. Holdren noted that it is not, because the U.S. and the world still depend on fossil fuels for more than 80 percent of all the primary energy we use, said White House spokeswoman Lindsey Geisler said in an email. It’s not practical or affordable to replace the huge, fossil-fuel infrastructure with nuclear and renewables overnight, no matter how badly we may want to. As a result, the U.S. will be using fossil fuels for decades to come..

Daniel Yergen, author of Pulitzer-winning opus "The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money and Power," discusses the future of oil & gas vs. renewable energy sources. 'I think people don't understand how pervasive oil and gas is in our whole economy, not just in terms of transportation, not just in terms of fuel, but in everything from your cellphone to cosmetics. I think also the ironic thing is that if shale gas and shale oil hadn't come along, we would be much more concerned about energy security, prices would be much higher, and our nation's carbon footprint would be much larger because gas has been a key element in bringing down our CO2 emissions.' http://bigstory.ap.org/art/a52ffe21d176437ead9f90069c89e936

If you've ever had concerns about agriculture grown with recycled oil field water (specifically from the Cawelo Water District), this column provides some great facts. Spoiler alert, 'all testing so far shows the Cawelo water is safe, with lower levels of some chemicals than are allowed in drinking water.' http://www.bakersfield.com//lois-henry-testing-shows-food-

Chevron offers rare look at controversial oil recovery practice in Kern County 'Throughout this process, an inspector with the California Division of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources sat in the command center with a laptop. He monitored the slurry injection rate and pressure to see whether anything out of the ordinary occurred. Since 2013’s Senate Bill 4 went into effect, every frack job in the state is similarly monitored by a DOGGR official.' http://ireader.olivesoftware.com///TBC/SharedArticle.ashx

It's at least as big as the state of Ohio. We've added a whole new major state, top-10 state, to our economy." Looking not just at drilling jobs but all related jobs truck drivers, truck manufacturers, petrochemical engineers and more Porter says the rise of fracking has added 2.7 million jobs to the economy, most of them with good wages.
