Ramping Up the Rhetoric
There has been an increase in the volume of so-called
“Anti-Fracking” articles and commentary lately in the media. The funny thing is
that many of these articles refer to hydraulic fracturing as a new
technology. This is only because they have only recently become aware of the
technique, so they perceive it as being new.
Also, there are the usual suspect celebrities going on &
on about how bad hydraulic fracturing is for the environment and the people,
when they are clueless as to how it works.
Examples of articles attacking the practice:
The two agendas

Are fracked oil and
natural gas really "snake oil"?

President Obama's Plan to Frack America
Luckily, there have also been articles that support
hydraulic fracturing and aim to dispel the myths that so-called “fractivists”
are trying to scare America and the rest of the world with.
