Sandra Steingraber on the Health Crisis Surrounding Natural Gas Extraction

About 30 states allow hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," the natural gas drilling process that injects millions of gallons of water, sand and chemicals deep into the earth in order to break up shale rock and release natural gas. New York has imposed a partial moratorium on the drilling process pending the outcome of an environmental impact study this July. Yesterday, New York state lawmakers held a hearing on the health impacts of fracking, an issue that until now has received little media attention. Democracy Now! interviews Sandra Steingraber, a biologist who testified at the hearing. She is author of "Raising Elijah: Protecting Children in an Age of Environmental Crisis."

Seems few know this is recent (2005), untested Halliburton technology. Thanks for bringing this and so many other crucial facts on hydraulic fracturing to light.
