Author Explores ‘Shades of Gray’ in Divisive Fracking Debate
View on EnergyWire website"Raimi uses his new book, 'The Fracking Debate,' to tackle those questions by sorting through research, talking to experts and visiting communities affected most by the spread of the oil and gas extraction technique. 'A few days of driving through oil and gas country, coupled with conversations across a bar stool, can teach you as much as dozens of journal articles and research reports,' he writes in the book, part of a series from the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University. For each question, the author — now a lecturer at the University of Michigan and a fellow at the Washington, D.C., think tank Resources for the Future — explores benefits and damage associated with fracking and highlights nagging uncertainties that stand in the way of clear answers to some questions. Raimi discussed his book with E&E News this week."
