Natural Gas Ethics

Autor Dana Pitely
en Limba Engleză Paperback
As we pioneer a new frontier of energy production - the natural gas process known as fracking - there are plenty of questions we should be asking. Utilizing a simple definition of ethics and well researched facts the comical Frick and Frack ask these questions. Some might think that these issues - issues such as ground water contamination and the continued use of yet another carbon-based fossil fuel are relatively cut and dried, but that is simply not true. The issues are complicated and multi-faceted. The book's primary focus is on the Marcellus Shale and Utica Shale plays, the presumed largest natural gas reservoir in the world. This new technique has triggered a substantial boom in areas that have been economically depressed for decades - a condition that has caused several states to rush ahead while others are daring to hold back. This ebb and flow of state decision makers have led many reporters and commentators to revisit the long-standing phrase of "Race to the bottom" made popular during America's first industrial age. Are states like Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia, who are actively embracing this Natural Gas boom, racing to the bottom just to make a buck? Is the process of fracking as environmentally dangerous as the media claims? Is future of Natural Gas really as bright as some are making it out to be? Is the Natural Gas Industry ethical? Is it ethical to stop the development of Natural Gas? And, perhaps most importantly, how do we decide? Frick and Frack help answer these questions in this uniquely readable and very practical guide to Natural Gas Ethics.
