The ULTIMATE Shale Gas Primer...From Catskill Citizens for Safe Energy

If there is one thing I have learned being an activist over many many moons, is you do not try to reinvent the wheel...truth be told, it is WASTED ENERGY that the cause cannot afford.  So, rather than try to create my own primer on the subject of Shale Gas, and it's Rosemary's Baby demonic child known as FRACK, thought I would share the BEST PRIMER I have found from the folks over at Catskill Citizens for Safe Energy...if you find this page, click on its links, and it will take you right to their learning resources...please take the time to educate yourselves...if not for yourselves, then for your children, and their children.
