Bill and I will start a two part meeting on gas and oil fracking, both the pros and cons. Bill will bring some articles and I will bring some videos, but please don't let that stop you from bringing your own material to share with the group. To get things started here is a TED Talk by a famous right wing oilman, T. Boone Pickens, who believes in the need to address climate change but puts America first.
-------- Update 9/11/14 ---------
Here are links to the two videos that were shown in part during the meeting:
- Peter Hoffman, eco-chef who wants the EPA to regulate fracking
- Rob Jackson, Duke professor who investigated water and air contamination from fracking
