Groundswell: the case for fracking
by Levant, Ezra
In a few short years, the discovery of vast reserves of until now unreachable natural gas, and the adoption of a process to get at it, have brought about a shale-gas revolution. Fracking involves the injection of millions of gallons of water mixed with sand and chemicals into a well deep underground to fracture shale rock. Levant debunks claims about contaminated groundwater, fracking chemicals, and earthquakes, and looks at fracking's benefits.
