Nobody has a right to contaminate and degrade lives. That's not a right that exists, and so there are these interlinked existential and environmental issues that kind of set aside mineral rights concerns utterly. Those mineral rights simply do not extend right through others' lives and their natural and universal right not to have their lives so degraded. And it is a degradation, don't pretend it isn't. It creates noxious effects in lives, look at Pennsylvania, look at other places. This isn't a theoretical concern.

It's like some kind of magic that this beast has gotten this far, isn't it? It's really sort of the poster child for how the United States has fallen into total neocolonialist despoilment of itself, and fascism, and who isn't sick of watching the wake of lives with destroyed material integrity as a result of the open pollution this activity has been directly responsible for creating?
