The Case for Fracking

Here is a short presentation produced by the American Petroleum Institute (the main US trade association for the oil and natural gas industry) that presents a pretty compelling argument in favor of fracking. Of course given the source, this report is probably at least slightly biased, but I think it still provides plenty of great information. However, we must be sure to look at opposing viewpoints as well.

Anyway, here is the presentation, and - after the break - a summary of what I thought were the most pertinent points it contained.
