Here is a question from 2013 that IMHO has just been frozen and ignored so far, NOT really answered in any way:

Hersov talks up shale gas; peanuts get thrown

(My column today, in which I challenge the objections of anti-shale-gas lawyer Derek Light.)

@fetzert so this the economic argument for #ShaleGas and #Fracking ? I have not read this before, does it take into account the environmental impact of shale gas, or is it purely an economic analysis?

Trying this again with the right tags this time!!! Newbie problems...

Here is the first page of The Erenwine Agenda, my first published ecofiction novel, sharing for #FlashFicFriday

Amalia Sengupta Erenwine stood in the middle of the gravel lot in Binghamton’s Aqua-Terra County Park, and eyed the mud puddles ahead on the trail. Lace-ups were a good start, but she needed something more heavy-duty on her feet. Betsy stood on the far side of the clearing, head bowed over a printed set of Polson Grohman’s architectural drawings, in a quiet huddle with the environmental center partners and the gas executives from Atlantia Actuaris.

With Betsy across the clearing and a moment to herself, Amalia could breathe it all in and enjoy it for what it was: a spectacular natural environment. The park gave her a boost of energy; just to be in it was enough. She put the camera in her bag opposite her packed lunch, rested the bag on a tipped-up stone slab at the trailhead, and glanced ahead to see dark clouds gather on the horizon beyond the fall colors of upstate New York.

Trying to let go of her inner conflict with the gas company’s investment had drawn it closer, and she found herself facing the reality that her internship in architecture was underwritten by the natural gas industry. Fracking supported her growth as an architect. Her environmentalism turned so awry, so quickly, on her move to New York City.

"The government has lifted a ban on fracking for shale gas, in place since 2019 after a series of tremors, even though a review concluded that forecasting fracking-induced earthquakes “remains a scientific challenge”."
