Hillary emails shows support for fracking (https://theintercept.com/2016/05/23/hillary-clinton-fracking/)
Emails from Hillary's private server show that she actually supports fracking- or at least tells potential oil company donors that. In her pubic speeches she is against it. To get the enviro-vote.
BACK IN APRIL, just before the New York primary, Hillary Clinton’s campaign aired a commercial (http://www.hillheat.com/articles/2016/04/18/in-upstate-ad-clinton-promises-to-stand-firm-with-new-yorkers-opposing-fracking) on upstate television stations touting her work as secretary of state forcing “China, India, some of the world’s worst polluters” to make “real change.” She promised to “stand firm with New Yorkers opposing fracking, giving communities the right to say ‘no.’”
The television spot, which was not announced and does not appear on the official campaign YouTube page (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLRYsOHrkk5qcIhtq033bLQ/videos) with most of Clinton’s other ads, implied a history of opposition to fracking, here and abroad. But emails obtained byThe Intercept from the Department of State reveal new details of behind-the-scenes efforts by Clinton and her close aides to export American-style hydraulic fracturing — the horizontal drilling technique best known as fracking — to countries all over the world.
Far from challenging fossil fuel companies, the emails obtained by The Intercept show that State Department officials worked closely with private sector oil and gas companies, pressed other agencies within the Obama administration to commit federal government resources including technical assistance for locating shale reserves, and distributed agreements with partner nations pledging to help secure investments for new fracking projects.
The documents also reveal the department’s role in bringing foreign dignitaries to a fracking site (https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/2803568-GSGI-Emails-3.html) in Pennsylvania, and its plans to make Poland a “laboratory (https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/2803564-GSGI-Emails-2.html) for testing whether U.S. success in developing shale gas can be repeated in a different country,” particularly in Europe, where local governments had expressed opposition and in some cases even banned fracking (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2011-07-01/france-vote-outlaws-fracking-shale-for-natural-gas-oil-extraction).
