The last refuge of the loony green – gas fracking causes sexually transmitted diseases.

How long before we see this kind of idiocy on these shores as the greens fight against anything that will prevent us living in mud huts?

A liberal democratic politician in Pennsylvania claimed in an email that fracking causes venereal disease in women.
Penn Live reported:

A state lawmaker is explaining his remark that suggests the impact of Pennsylvania’s booming natural gas industry includes the spread of sexually transmitted disease “amongst the womenfolk.”

Democratic Rep. Michael Sturla of Lancaster County was expected to discuss the remark at a previously scheduled hearing Wednesday on gas drilling.

His remark was made in comments e-mailed to a reporter in which he accused a Corbett administration official of downplaying the seriousness of community impacts created by drilling.
The state Republican Party on Tuesday evening called the remark offensive and incredibly stupid.

I wonder what exactly he thinks gets stuck in the ground to produce the gas?
