HYDROFRACKING:
Royal road to energy independence or environmental nightmare?
There may be no more decisive environmental issue in America today than
hydrofracking, or tracking as it is commonly called, referring to the use of
highly pressurized water and chemicals to extract gas trapped in subterra¬
nean shale formations. Opponents decry its pollution of water, ground, and
air, and lament the lack of oversight in the industry. Proponents argue that
it has created jobs, spurred industry, lowered carbon emissions, and provided
an economic boon to many communities across the country, including some
of the poorest. The fight is highly polarized, with fracktivists pressuring
Washington to put restrictions in place and advocates touting energy inde¬
pendence and the environmental benefits of replacing coal with natural gas.
In Hydro/racking: What Everyone Needs to Know,
Alex Prud homme
explains
the basics of hydraulic fracturing, considers the economic and political ben¬
efits, and explores concerns about health dangers and damage to the envi¬
ronment. Stepping back from the impassioned debate,
Prud homme
offers an
incisive introduction to one of the country s most contentious issues.
