An Investigation of Fracking in California
An Investigation of Fracking in California: Mark Hertsgaard and Holly Kernan (independent journalists)
These
two award-winning journalists will collaborate to produce a print and
radio journalistic account of fracking in California, a fast-developing
controversy that will have a profound effect on the future of global
warming both in California and around the world. If fracking can go
forward in California—a longtime pioneer green consciousness and public
policy, not to mention the world's eighth largest economy—it will send a
powerful signal that other regions should permit fracking as well.
Their investigation will seek to answer the question as to why
politicians with strong environmental track records have suddenly begun
to speak of fracking as a positive option.
