    So frustrating that this industry isn’t properly regulated. It’s massively profitable and has had a profound impact on US energy structure.

    Yet basic regulations can’t be implemented because they’re “too challenging” for the industry. Even as continued evidence of its harm pops up.

    It’s insane. And shameful. I have some shockingly wealthy acquaintances connected to the industry, and without fail, they’ll all spread the pro-industry propaganda before any votes related to the most basic regulations. Then they’ll post about some insanely extravagant material item in the same breath. Absolutely blinded by greed.

      Look no further. Here lies the underlying cause of your frustration.

      The process was invented after Reagan, so good luck creating new regulations for it.
