Fracksylvania



A really excellent article in Rolling Stone magazine, The Big Fracking Bubble: The Scam Behind the Gas Boom by Jeff Goodell.

Kind of interesting that New York has a moratorium on new fracking operations, and this week in Ohio the Republican governor has called for increased regulation and taxation (he said, normalized taxation but he means more) of the fracking industry. Also in Ohio, they've banned pumping poisonous, proprietary fracking fluids underground since they seem to be causing earthquakes.

Pennsylvania? Nothing to see here, move along.
