What's the problem with 'fracking'?

On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation with Josh Fox, writer and director of the documentary, Gasland, about the spread of "fracking," or hydraulic fracturing, across the United States. The process, which uses water, pressure, and chemicals to extract natural gas from the ground, is exempt from environmental regulation. What concerns do you have? Join us live at 10 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. What effects is "fracking" having on our health and environment? On the next Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.

Guests:
Josh Fox, writer and director of Gasland

Deborah Goldberg, managing attorney of EarthJustice's northeast regional office
