Fracturing Rock for Natural Gas

The debate is on.  Can geologists obtain natural gas through fracturing (fracking) without threatening the water supply?

FOR: Energy in Depth says yes and provides an informative web site about the geological technologies used. 

BOTH SIDES: You can hear both sides on last week’s radio show with Diane Rehm, Terry Engelder, Professor of Geosciences,
Pennsylvania State University; Theo Colborn, environmental health analyst and founder of the Endocrine Disruption Exchange;  and Chuck Stanley, chief operating officer,
Questar Corporation, a natural gas-focused energy company.

AGAINST:  Josh Fox’s citizen documentary called WaterUnderAttack and radio interview.
