Very surprising article
I thought it would be good to have an article focusing on pro fracking. Very surprised that farmers would be so supportive of fracking. I understand that it could help their businesses, but those chemicals! Give it a look.
Legislative Gazette
Interesting look at fracking. The conclusion is not so much that fracking will affect health risks, but that there may be little reward in fracking, leading to the risks far outweighing the any gain. Good to see more recent articles on this issue too.
NPR Clip
It is good to see that the New York State Government has banned fracking... for two more years. This should not even be a debate and hopefully it will be struck down again in 2015.
Video from Grist
This is a video from grist.org by Thomas Stackpole. Like the previous video, it does a good job at explaining what hydrofracking is.
