The Frackers: The Outrageous Inside Story of the New Billionaire Wildcatters
Gregory Zuckerman
Good book… An amazon review
Much like ‘The Greatest Trade Ever’, this book is about bucking the odds, high risk/high return, near misses & making amazing breakthroughs. It’s much more about the unique entrepreneurial people involved than it is about the science behind a process that is leading the US back to energy production self-sufficiency.
The author is unparalleled at exploring these characters while weaving together the details of a very disparate, but wildly entertaining story about a group of people who essentially changed the world. One aspect I really enjoyed was the humor. There are laugh-out-loud moments in the book within the details of these compelling, quirky people. Hilarious. It keeps you hooked on the characters & is very compelling to read.
Just saved $16 on a fill up over what is cost me not long ago.

Prices sure come down slowly, they go up instantly.
Imagine how much worse our economy would be without fracking. I wonder how much of the genuine good news in our economy can be traced directly or indirectly to fracking?
