Lyon: Fracking with Purpose
(03/03/15 12:36am)
Between 2005 and 2013, the oil and gas industry drilled around 82,000 hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, wells to extract shale gas across the country. The seemingly eminent shift to a country powered by natural gas has both active proponents and vocal detractors. Fracking is neither as good nor as bad as those on either side of the issue would have us believe. As more parties become invested in the debate, however, it becomes all the harder to cut through the stigma and whitewashing to get to the truth about fracking.
