Tuesday Video: Stephen Colbert hilariously attacks fracking in the “anti-frack attack”
Stephen Colbert takes on fracking, covering the debate in New York, as Governor Cuomo wants to lift the ban on hydro-fracking in order to use more natural gas and less foreign oil. Scary news indeed. Fracking can cause huge chemical contamination in water sources- it might even light your faucet on fire. Cue Colbert to the rescue.
“What would you rather have in your kitchen?" Colber asks. "A boring old faucet, or a built-in creme brulee maker?”
He continues:. “It’s like giving the Earth an Alka-Seltzer, if the Alka-Seltzer shattered your internal organs so that oil companies could harvest your juices."
It gets worse.
Later, Colbert reveals a cartoon character coloring book made by Talisman Energy to educate people about the fracking process. This isn't a joke, right?
