Fracking Boom Jobs Did Not Materialize and Underperformance Likely to Continue

So, here's a big shock...

Earth Day Fracking Thoughts

With Earth Day coming up, April 22, it seems like the perfect time to think about the impact of fracking and fracking brine disposal.

Instead of sharing my thoughts on this, this time, I would like to hear what you, my readers, think.

Tell us: Based on all the information you have read and studied, do you think fracking is a dangerous path, or do you think it's safe?
