On Shaky Ground? Fracking Lawsuits, Earthquakes and Bad Water (oh my)
… there’s a post over at the Forbes blog today by Dr. Michael Economides defending hydraulic fracking . There’s also a post over at The Motley Fool that shares hydraulic fracturing’s new “problem”: earthquakes. (Actually it isn’t “new”—the notion of fracking contributing to earthquakes has been just below the mainstream media’s lens for a while now).
I had just watched (a bit overdue) the documentary “Flow” last night (clip above), about the threats to our …
Fracking and Flammable Tap Water? NY Says Hell No…for now

The fracking process is controversial to say the least because it may be associated with harmful effects on the environment, specifically underground drinking water .
