I don't think we really want a commander-in-chief who's battling climate change instead of terrorism."

Scientists have found that what gets pumped into hydrocarbon-rich rock as part of the hydraulic fracture technique to release gas and oil trapped in underground reservoirs may not be entirely healthy. Fracking is a highly controversial technique, and has not been handed a clean bill of health by the scientific societies.
