You just proved my point.
Take away the subsidies from the Oil companies, take way the tax breaks for the oil companies, and the price would be competitive. You argument has no bite. Professors at SMU in Dallas , along with experts from TCU, and geologist have linked the earthquakes in Southwest Tarrant Counties to Fracking, they are also working on studies to determine what is causing the quakes in Gregg counties and surrounding the Lufkin area. Do a google search, I'm sure you'll find it.
The good thing about science, is, rather you believe it or not, it is true.
