The Legacy of Fracking

Lecture / Seminar

 [email protected]

Join Andrew Nikiforuk for a stunning examination of Big Oil and government abuse based on his most recent book, Slick Water. Fracking causes water contamination, seismic activity, landscape industrialization and economic ruin. The harrowing experience of Jessica Ernst reveals how government and regulators flaunt the law to protect the powerful fossil fuel industry.

Slick Water is the 2016 Science in Society Journalism Awards recipient and received honourable mention for the 15th annual Rachel Carson Book Award. Mr. Nikiforuk's previous book, Tar Sands, Dirty Oil and the Future of the Continent, received the 2009 Rachel Carson Book Award. Slick Water will be on sale.
