Summary:
"From the author of Tar Sands comes the story of an oil and gas
industry
insider
's determined
stand
to hold government and
industry
legally accountable for the damage
fracking
leaves in its wake. When Jessica Ernst's well
water
turned into a flammable broth that even her dogs refused to drink, the biologist and long-time oil patch consultant discovered that energy giant Encana had secretly fracked hundreds of gas wells around her home, piercing her community'
s
drinking
water
aquifer. Her ongoing lawsuit
against
Encana, Alberta Environment, and the Energy Resources Conservation Board has made her a folk hero in many places worldwide where
fracking
is underway. Investigative journalist Andrew Nikiforuk interweaves Ernst's story with the science of
fracking
and stories of human and environmental repercussions left in its wake.
Slick
Water
raises dramatic questions about the role of Big Oil in government and society's obsession with rapidly depleting supplies of unconventional oil and gas. Andrew Nikiforuk was
one
of the first journalists in North America to document the devastating effects of hydraulic fracturing on rural communities"--Provided by publisher.
