The Article:<\/strong> Rick Santorum slams ‘reign of environmental terror’<\/a> y Alex Guillen and Juana Summers on Politico.<\/p>\n

The Text:<\/strong> Liberal politicians and green groups are exaggerating the dangers of hydraulic fracturing to scare people and raise money, Rick Santorum said Thursday in a wide-ranging rant against environmental activists.<\/p>\n

The failure of cap-and-trade legislation in 2009 was the \u201cpoliticization of science,\u201d Santorum said.<\/p>\n

In fact, he added, the Republican Party is \u201cthe truth party.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou hear all the time, the left: \u2018Oh, the conservatives are the anti-science party.\u2019 No we\u2019re not. We\u2019re the truth party,\u201d the former Pennsylvania senator said at a campaign event in Oklahoma City. \u201cBecause the left is always looking for a way to control you. They\u2019re always trying to make you feel guilty so you\u2019ll give them power so they can lord it over you. They do it on the environment all the time.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Environmentalists use universal desires for clean water, clean air and conservation to \u201cdistort the truth in order to get you to give them authority.\u201d<\/p>\n

Their new target is natural gas, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to have all sorts of government regulations, because of the threats of hydrofracking,\u201d Santorum said. \u201cIt\u2019s the new boogey man. It\u2019s the new way to try to scare you and those folks particularly not from Oklahoma and Texas \u2014 we\u2019re sort of new to this stuff, hydrofracking, in Pennsylvania.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd they\u2019re preying on the Northeast, saying, \u2018Look what\u2019s going to happen. Ooh, all this bad stuff\u2019s going to happen, we don\u2019t know all these chemicals and all this stuff,\u2019\u201d he continued. \u201cLet me tell you what\u2019s going to happen: Nothing\u2019s going to happen, except they will use this to raise money for the radical environmental groups so they can go out and continue to try to purvey their reign of environmental terror on the United States of America. We will stand up for the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fracking is an increasingly important technique for natural gas extractors in Santorum\u2019s home state of Pennsylvania, which has vast shale reserves.<\/p>\n

Many environmentalists have raised concerns that the process could have serious environmental impacts, particularly polluting groundwater.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
