[CRNMC] Creative Signature Jam

I think that is very true, and the "its not as lucrative here as we thought"
conversation/tactic has been used almost everywhere fracking has been.

Meanwhile, Germany is producing 75% of their energy needs through
renewables. There are better more forward thinking plans to consider.

 So the question is, why are we leading the world in fracking?  And the
answer to that is, because the people who must bear the brunt of those bad
decisions aren't the same folks who are making the decisions. Coming back to
rights again.
