Gas is 1.89 in my area, what are the ripple effects of this era of cheap gas in America?

Fracking is going to destroy the land. But hey, at least gas is cheap, right. People are stupid as they always have been. So enjoy your cheap gas, and enjoy the consequence later.

The price of gas has absolutely nothing to do with Fracking.

It's mainly Saudi Arabia selling oil for super cheap.  Hell these cheap gas prices will probably put american companies doing the Fracking out of business cause fracking is not cheap and at oil prices at what htey are now, they won't make any money.

I hope so because fracking is fucking awful and those arsehole companies aren't welcome in the UK! Oil is dirty but at least it is possible to clean it up, fracking does irreversable damage if something goes wrong.
