Snake Oil: How Fracking's False Promise of Plenty Imperils Our Future

The rapid spread of hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") has temporarily boosted US natural gas and oil production... and sparked a massive environmental backlash in communities across the country.

SNAKE OIL casts a critical eye on the oil-industry hype that has hijacked America's energy conversation.
