My message: Hydraulic fracturing is a net energy loser when you factor in the electricity and diesel fuel you need to set up the pads and drill rigs. The only gain is a short term financial boost to the companies doing the drilling. Please consider the mathematics of this process carefully before you vote on this bill.
