Fracking for Clean Energy (wait, what?)

Hold up. What do politicians have with reducing Americas independence on foreign oil? The techniques of horizontal drilling etc took decades of development and were driven by innovative & persistent oil entrepreneur like George P. Mitchell. Bunch of politicians making proclamations didnt change things, engineers, geologists and businessmen did. Politicians say things like they wanna reduce dependence but I don’t think Obamas idea was for Americans to drill in their backyard. My other problem with the video is at 8:12 - who in this universe ever thinks wind/solar will contribute that much to energy? They have no base load power. In no universe are they going to contribute like that diagram. Never. Ever.
Otherwise I liked the video. Interesting and learnt something.
