I was ignorant to the dangers posed by hydraulic fracture drilling for natural gas in America. I thought, "Hey, natural gas. Sounds safe. Maybe even eco-friendly."
Wrong--on both counts.
Hydraulic drilling is unregulated in this country. There is no monitoring agency. It's a free-for-all. It's a monster posing as a savior for our energy needs.
My hope in writing this blog is to educate myself and others about the consequences America is facing as a result of hydraulic drilling-- both as a diverse environmental landscape, and as a nation of tax paying citizens.
