Newest fear tactic. Biden's also going to socialize the whole country because Kamala Harris is apparently Far-Left of Bernie Sanders now. Shit Trump claimed last night.

It always sounds like a battlecry from braveheart...........they can attack our freedoms but they'll never make us socialists!

But Trump is right in that it's probably going to cost him support in places like Texas.
Yup, and Robbie was so certain that Texas was going blue this time lol.
Also , as you said, Texas won't be the only state where he loses supporters over it.
Unfortunately though, many have already voted thru early voting and they won't be able to change their votes.

Banning fracking is just another bad idea in a long list of bad ideas from democrats. It's almost as dumb as packing the courts or doing away with the electoral college (which fortunately I don't think will ever happen).
"Fracking is bad!" is another one of those phrases people say where you can tell they are complete f*cking idiots.
Guess how you get geo-thermal energy, a renewable energy that is very clean, to work? Fracking.
Ask anyone single person who is opposed to fracking why they are opposed to fracking. If they say, "it is bad for the environment", act shocked. Try to be sincere. Then ask them, "How is it bad the environment? What do they do that harms the environment?"
Watch as they know nothing beyond their talking points.
We could setup geothermal power plants anywhere on the planet. With fracking methods. 🙂 It's a great energy source, too. Much better than wind turbines. We just need to get pipes deep enough to pump water to the crust-mantle boundary layer where the rock is naturally around 200F (or near 95-100C) and use that method to create steam to cause power turbines to spin. Bam. Very clean, very environmentally friendly, closed-system, power generation. Guess which country uses this energy and supplies enough to power the whole country? Iceland. 🙂
Fracking - one of those libtarded talking points. This is why I think my fellow liberals are idiots. They shit all over technology that is really good for the environment while propping up shitting and inefficient technology like wind turbines.
Someone will be smarter for having read this post. Someone who cares about the environment may push for more geothermal or nuclear. That'd be great.

how many days until trump and friends get thrown out of office? will he go peacefully via helicopter like nixon, ot will it be a comedy like when mousselini "left" office?

I don't know if you're serious or not but, yes, some in the UK (actual experts) have suggested geothermal energy expansion as a clean and cheap solution for energy in the UK. However, I think the Atlantic Faultline is too far away from the UK to be viable. But you don't need to necessarily be near a fault like to harness GTE.

I've been saying this for years and Trump could have helped us, but nooooooo.

They don't even get close to the Mohorovicic discontinuity.
At Kola the drill couldn't cope with the metamorphic change in the rock. It was like drilling through liquid which then reset as solid behind the drill head.
They only made it about 1/3 of the way to the boundary and it took them over 20 years.

The earth's crust depth varies, greatly. But at no point are we drilling down to the mantle: terrible idea and a very big waste of time/resources. We are drilling deep enough to get temperatures around 200F. We aren't drilling 30KM deep. We are talking around 700-1,500 meters (but the "real" world will see greater depths).
We have feasibility studies, already:
Those are just 2. A total of 6 were funded in 2017:
But, yes, to your point, multiple people have suggested deep-water geothermal plants due to how thin the crust is and how much more quickly they can reach "heat" while repurposing offshore oil rigs for geothermal production: 3km-5km. I don't see that as feasible, at all, because of all the retrofitting that would need to be done and the heat loss. Unless they are doing the generation on the rig itself and can somehow produce enough to overcome attenuation before it reaches "shore", this is not a good idea.

Yes, Kola is more than deep enough in particularly "thin-crust" places to reach the boundary. They did that one in the 80s and we've definitely gotten better at drilling since then. We don't need to go that deep.
I misread this as "Koala". And it got me to thinking about those delicious koala bear cookies I used to get as a kid:
