Yeah, but it ain't a Silver Bullet. Fracking takes tremendous amounts of
water, and uses carcinogenic chemicals. That sometimes leaves a choice
between clean drinking water, and energy. That is, if the area has the
water resources to begin with. Overall, good news, but problems to have
to be worked out.
