No, I do not think, not have I ever thought, that natural gas, fracked or otherwise, is a serious way to reduce GHG emissions. But that's not what Klein was arguing.

She said fracking cannot "be made safe", as in, it inevitably poisons the ground water. That is not only untrue, it's another one of those standard industry strawmen that's so untrue that having it out there makes the real environmentalist case harder.

And no, I did not say that either (this, by the way, is the McCarthyist tactic that Barney Frank keeps accusing the Bernie Bros of using).

But I'd be happy to do so now. Even if that assertion is true (I always hesitate to take your numbers at face value, considering that they bubble up from the most unhinged end of the anti Hillary movement), it doesn't bother me in the slightest. People work for lots of organizations in their lifetimes. When there isn't a quid pro quo, there isn't a quid pro quo.
