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.
