PA GOP to allow fracking on college campuses - Chris, America Blog

Just when you think the activities of the Big Energy business, and their GOP allies, can’t get any creepier, this happens. Legalizing fracking on college campuses really shouldn’t come as a surprise though. The Republicans (with plenty of help from too many gutless Democrats) have never liked higher education, so have made it their mission to starve the system for years. Now that they’ve gutted the budget for universities, they try to make it sound as though fracking is somehow the reasonable way to solve the budget problems. OK, so who is going to pay for the cleanup? Who will pay when students and faculty get sick? What happens when the water in the schools becomes polluted and catches on fire? http://americablog.com/2012/10/pa-governor-signs-law-to-allow-fracking-on-college-campuses.html
