IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO READ MORE ABOUT FRACKING:

There is a lot of data available on hydraulic fracturing (fracking), much of it factual and science-based. Unfortunately, there is also “information” that is intended to cloud the issue, create doubt, and discredit scientific reports and studies. That is the very tactic used by the tobacco and the leaded-gas industries, for the same reason. Those industries wanted to maintain the status quo and keep industry profits up, regardless of the impact on people and the environment. This misinformation campaign is designed to hide the risks associated with fracking, and to deny culpability for the environmental and health damage it causes. Our intention is to provide you with news articles and studies that show the damage caused by fracking, as well as to debunk the myths that the industry is pushing. We need to fight against fracking and protect the Taylorsville Basin. There are safer alternatives like solar and wind power that we can migrate towards now. Renewable energy sources can replace fossil fuels safely and efficiently if we are open to moving that way. Gas is not a bridge solution; it is another step in the wrong direction that will push more and more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, to humanity’s detriment. Click on the links below to read more about each issue. The numbers that follow the links are the number of different articles, studies, etc., that match the category.
