    makes me sad that Adam Carolla has become a right wing troll. 13 year old me loved him on Loveline in the late 90s.

    No kidding. I don't understand the need to speak in such absolutes. Just come up with a plan to curb fracking, long term. Saying you are going to ban all fracking on day 1 will fuck up more than it will help.

    Become? A guy whose career is basically what is often referred to as “toxic masculinity” didn’t become a right wing troll. That’s all he has ever been just under a different name.

    Single state, non-important state, head to head general election poll 14 months ahead of the general literally couldn’t matter less, and I’m not even a Warren fan.

    Is Fracking that popular among the general Texas population that it would widely and negatively impact Warren's poll numbers there?

    Lots of oil money down there, which probably comes from fracking

    don't buy the idea that we need to slowly walk away from insanity

    When there were more wells pumping around me our well water had visible oil in it 100% of the time. People were lighting it on fire out of their sinks. The entire practice should have never been able to get off the ground by enforcing basic environmental laws. For orangeblood types approaching from a property rights angle might hit home.

    I tried earlier to find info. UT Austin was doing energy polls, including opinions on fracking, but I don't think that was TX specific. From what I can tell, those polls stopped around 2016/7. From the last one I found:

    "The percentage of Americans who say they are familiar with the use of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, continues to hover just under a majority (47 percent). Of those who say they are familiar with the technology, 47 percent approve of its use, compared with 41 percent last fall; 37 percent oppose fracking, compared with 43 percent in September.

    Survey respondents’ views again split along party lines: Of those who are familiar with fracking, nearly 2 out of 3 Republicans (65 percent) support the practice, compared with 30 percent of Democrats. Fifty-four percent of Democrats oppose fracking, compared with 37 percent of Republicans."

    Some other study that looked at the results of the energy poll after the fact showed a statistical significance of living closer to fracking sites and being more in favor of the practice. I'd chalk it up more to "fracking feeds my family" rather than "I like fracking objectively."

    Good info thanks. Seems like it's not necessary to pander to fracking supporters especially since fracking is fucking awful.

    Perceptions on this stuff and the way business leaders and industry folk talk about this has really swung in the last two years. Especially since Dara has shown fracking hasn’t had the impact on the economy most thought it would.

    Literally everyone here of influence other than ted Cruz talks about climate change as existential to the region, both from an economic and humanity standpoint.

    It will affect Pennsylvania and Ohio as well. The boom in Utica and Marcellus shale fracking affects some very traditionally blue parts of those states.

    I mean any given year, ~25% of texas energy comes from wind, and well over 30% from renewables total.

    Not sure how people would be so pro fracking and against Warren when texas usually does pretty well with wind as a cheap power source. Although the summer months can be brutal if the wind isn't blowing

    Slate seems to think that this is a fake Pence tweet, as it does not fit the grammar, capitalization, and sentence structure he normally uses.

    Reading through his tweets and as a NC-09 resident and voter, my educated guess is it’s going to be Bishop and it’s probably not going to be that close (relatively).

    Just blasphemous that Mecklenburg County, a major economic engine and tax base for the state basically gets gerrymandered out of any representation at the state level. It’s an ironic slap in the face that the GOP convention will be held here.
