It's never as simple as "Just grow some bugs and chow down". Most species of insects are hosts to assorted parasites.
For instance, the common grasshopper (yummy when fried) can carry tapeworms.

While we have lots of experience dealing with parasites of domestic mammals, not so much for bugs that live on other bugs.

Sounds like a stealthy way of killing off the project, by piling on requirements until it's obviously too expensive or risky.

It would cost the same delta-v to rendezvous with an asteroid as it would to reach the same orbit without the rendezvous.

Huge future assets aren't worth much if you're going broke now.

Conservation is important but there really aren't those kinds of big savings to be had. People don't want to drive golf carts to work and they don't want to live in the city. And I can't blame them. And 70F? Try 77 and it's still expensive.

And yes, boondoggles. Even in Germany. Read the "Government Policy" section of that wiki article. They are paying huge subsidies for renewable energy.

Don't just tell us, call the advertisers of The View and tell them.

Right up there with frying food or scented candles. We'll get back to you on that, sure.

What are the long-term costs of not exploiting domestic energy supplies? More funding for our dear friends the Saudis? Escalating death-spiral of energy prices while renewables turn out to be expensive boondoggles? Our Dear Leader did promise that energy prices would necessarily skyrocket, and that's one promise he seems determined to fulfill.

Fracking wells themselves are too deep for that to matter very much, also the pressure of fracking is momentary, much more like blasting in a mine. The problem you describe is more likely to be caused by a brine-injection well, which is done at shallower depths and is intended for long-term storage of the injected brine at pressure. I know, we've had several small earthquakes here in NE Ohio resulting from improperly operated brine injection wells.

Nothing changed. That area has had methane in the ground water since long before fracking ever happened.

Bank Error In Your Favor means you Go Directly To Jail if you try to spend the money.

I tried not believing in gravity, but it only made me lightheaded.

You'd likely find an "Emergency Powers" clause which allow the President (or whatever he's called) to rule by decree. It only takes one clause like that to make a complete mockery of the rest of the constitution.

Sorry but that fantasy of yours is not supported by either evidence or testimony. Stick to the facts as known.

Your ability to conjure up fantasies has nothing to do with the witnesses and the evidence in the trial.

When "confront his pursuer" means "knock him down and beat his head against the sidewalk" then I think there's possibly a minor flaw in your argument.
