GROUNDSWELL: THE CASE FOR FRACKING
LEVANT, EZRA
In Groundswell, Ezra Levant examines the fracking revolution. Fracking (from "fracturing") involves
injecting millions of gallons of water mixed with sand and chemicals into a well deep underground to
fracture shale rock and release previously inaccessible reserves of oil and gas. The United States,
Canada, North Africa, and the Middle East have vast reserves of shale gas and accessing it will mean a
seismic shift in energy geopolitics. With natural gas in abundance, prices fall and the stranglehold by
energy companies like Russia's Gazprom loosens. OPEC, environmentalists, and communities
throughout North America are fighting hard to stop fracking, and Levant debunks their motivations and
arguments, while arguing that fracking's benefits outweigh its costs, even environmentally. With Ethical
Oil, Levant completely changed the debate surrounding Canada's oil sands. In this timely and
controversial book he provides desperately needed perspective on a subject of growing global
importance.
