Our shortsighted acceptance of fracking
Founder & Editor in Chief
It is true that America needs sustainable, clean, homegrown energy sources, but natural gas is not the answer [“The natural-gas boom,” editorial, Feb. 15]. Our elected leaders are being shortsighted in adopting a fossil fuel that will prove obsolete in just a couple of decades, when instead we should develop our green-energy infrastructure to facilitate the deployment of wind and solar power.
