520    "There may be no more decisive environmental issue in 
       America today than hydrofracking, or 'fracking' as it is 
       commonly called, referring to the use of highly 
       pressurized water and chemicals to extract gas trapped in 
       subterranean 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 independence and the environmental benefits
       of replacing coal with natural gas."--Book cover.
