Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing to give its proper name, has become part of our lives recently, due to the massive exploitation of America’s shale oil and gas fields.

Along the way it has stirred up controversy, with passionate opponents fighting against the oil companies. The fight has generated a lot of heat, but not much understanding. This guide, written by some-one who knows what he is talking about takes a detached, neutral view of the subject. Without pushing a view for or against, it provides the factual background you need to form an opinion of your own.

An Informed and Neutral Introduction

“Like most people I have heard of fracking, but did I really understand what it was?  To answer honestly, no.  I knew it had something to do with mining and was perhaps destructive to the land.  To me, it was just one of those words of the moment.  This guide has given me a real sense and understanding of what fracking is.  It allowed me, someone who has no experience in this field, to learn about the pros and cons of fracking, without having the good and bad of it forced down my throat.  If you want an informed and neutral introduction into fracking, then this is the guide for you.” ~ Debbie Prewer
