    This administration has never tried to kill fracking.

    You are a fucking liar.
    "The EPA and similar organizations have been trying to stop and forbid fracking for years."
    false.

    "The DoE was used as a tool to hurt people."
    nonsense.

    It's a political fight becasue the pubs made it one. The DoE funding wasn't political.

    You should actual learn history and mission of the DoE, you fucking limp wristed cum stain.

    Who wants to shut down Nuclear plants? Not me. I want to see thorium plants and generate electriscity form burning our current high yield 'waste'.

    We could start that right now. Doesn't even need to be all at once, we could roll out out a 20 year plan.

    You are so stupid that your whole premise seem to be based that we just shut one thing off and then start the next. I understand it can be hard for simpletons like you to do more then one thing at a time, but for actually thinking adults, it's not really that hard.
