Description

Ezra Levant looks at fracking's enemies - who they are, and what they don't want us to know - and debunks claims about contaminated groundwater, fracking chemicals, and earthquakes. He also looks at fracking's benefits: significant job and wealth creation, lower CO2 emissions, and, most importantly, increased political freedom. With natural gas in abundance, prices fall and the stranglehold of energy companies such as Russia's Gazprom loosens. In this timely and provocative book, Levant explores the promise of natural gas that fracking has made possible.
