Thank you. I have to wonder though, since fracking has been around since the 1940’s if it is not economics that is keeping the shale in the ground. The boondoggle of the government corruption in environmental funds is worth attention since it is getting bigger, and bigger . . . Austrian economic theory says that the boondoggle misallocation of funds extends the recession/depression. Derecession maybe . . .
Re-read the article. It isn't "fracking" that has made production economical, but horizontal drilling. Prior to that invention, it WAS economics keeping the shale gas in the ground. The article is correct, the problem is green propaganda about "dangerous chemicals contaminating ground water".
