Description

The riveting, untold story of the tycoons behind the fracking controversy In 2006 the US was running out of energy. From running a city to turning on a lightbulb, the entire country depended on dwindling energy sources tied up in international politics. Then came the Frackers. Ambitious and headstrong, these few pioneers - some without degrees or backgrounds in geology - risked their livelihoods in the stubborn search under the soil. What they found transformed the nation, and the world. With exclusive access, award-winning reporter Gregory Zuckerman chronicles their untold story for the first time and explores just how dangerous fracking really is.
