BaltimoreSun: Unconventional gas development using high-volume hydraulic fracturing, commonly referred to as fracking, has been intensely debated in our state for almost a decade. Initially promoted as a "clean" fuel that would provide cheap energy, create jobs and help the climate, fracked gas was embraced by politicians of both major parties. States like Pennsylvania and West Virginia welcomed the industry with open arms, setting in motion a vast public health experiment. Maryland wisely waited. When Maryland...

Business Green: Environmental groups have enormous political power in Germany. For years, they have been urging the federal government to ban fracking. A policy review has been ongoing at the highest levels for more than 5 years. Finally, the fossil fuel companies said they had waited long enough and announced they would seek permits to begin fracking operations immediately. That was enough to spur the government to act.
