Following up on her June 10 show on the horrors of natural gas fracking, Dr. Robin Falkov solicits additional input from Dee and Paul from Pennsylvania, Sharon Wilson, and Sam Lane.<\/p>\n

The hydraulic fracturing process contaminates air, soil, and groundwater and it generates noise pollution, 24\/7, at extremely high decibel levels.<\/p>\n
Tragically, the mainstream media slants most of their news strories about natural gas fracking from the vested interests of the energy companies and not from local citizens whose lives have been severely impaired.<\/p>\n
