What The Frack?!?

I haven't paid too much attention to a strange, new environmental issue called Fracking.  Basically, companies pump water deep underground to cause the rocks to break apart so they can collect the natural gas that is released.  While they can collect huge amounts of natural gas, this largely unregulated practice causes a host of environmental issues.  For instance, benzene and other chemicals escape into the water supply which eventually comes out of our taps.  Like this case below.  In areas that practice fracking many have found that you can light the water on fire as it comes out of the faucet.


To help people understand whats going on, some scientists have put together a song and video about fracking.  Check it out and maybe you can educate some people today.
