Taking the Cover off the Shale Revolution

摘要

Buy it, sit down and read The Green and the Black, The Complete Story of the Shale Revolution, the Fight over Fracking, and the Future of Energy by Gary Sernovitz, (St. Martin's Press, 2016,. $27.99). The shale revolution prompted by the development of hydro fracking has changed the face of energy in America and to a lesser extent, the rest of the world. However, the changes have occurred so quickly that they remain shrouded in controversy and mystery. Today, this perception is heightened by the role of fossil fuels in climate change, along with a gross lack of knowledge, to become a threat to future infrastructure.
