The Five’s Greg Gutfeld went off on liberals Friday afternoon for not celebrating the “exploding” success North Dakota has been experiencing of late due to the fracking boom:

“It’s hard to find good news these days. Unless you’re North Dakota, where good news is exploding under your feet. Economist Jason Sorens made a chart showing that North Dakota leads the nation in personal income growth in six of the last seven years. Only Connecticut and [Washington] D.C. beat it in per capita income. So why is it that every state county has a 14 percent jump in income growth? Is it because theres a bourgeoning market for sun flower meat? The sensuous appeal of granite boulders?”

“No. It’s fracking.”

“How come the media doesn’t report that? How come the president doesn’t point to North Dakota and say ‘hey, that’s pretty awesome?’ It’s because North Dakota’s win is seen as their loss. Which is weird, since natural gas was something that liberals used to love. It’s true, when it was expensive it was great. Now that it’s cheap, it’s evil. It’s like the SUV. When only celebrities who were chauffeured in them they were cool. Then when we all got them they became fossil feens.”

“So why does the left hate something that creates jobs, makes us energy independent, which increases security abroad? Because it’s not government. The fracking revolution is a triumph of humanity, not bureaucracy. It’s a reminder that when government gets out of the way, good things happen. It’s sad that something so awesomely American is ignored by our government because they didn’t build it. But what do you expect, the only thing the president seems to make these days is excuses.”
