Over the past decade, the United States has witnessed a significant surge in oil and gas production, largely attributed to technological advancements like high-volume hydraulic fracturing, commonly known as "fracking." This rapid growth has sparked widespread debate, with proponents highlighting economic and energy security benefits while opponents emphasize the environmental and social risks associated with increased oil and gas production. Despite the intense discussions, both sides do not possess a monopoly on the facts. In this comprehensive book, Daniel Raimi presents a balanced and accessible perspective on oil and gas development, offering a clear and thorough explanation of the key issues surrounding the shale revolution.
The Fracking Debate addresses the most commonly asked questions and concerns related to fracking: What is fracking? Does fracking pollute the water supply? Will fracking make the United States energy independent? Does fracking cause earthquakes? How is fracking regulated? Is fracking good for the economy? By combining a deep understanding of scholarly research with firsthand experiences from visits to every major U.S. oil- and gas-producing region, Raimi sheds light on the stories of individuals and communities affected by the shale revolution, both positively and negatively.
The Fracking Debate provides valuable evidence and context that have often been missing from the national discourse on the future of oil and gas production. It equips readers with the tools necessary to understand this critical issue and make informed decisions.
