1. What is shale gas?
2. Where are the biggest shale gas deposits in New Brunswick?
3. What is horizontal drilling?
4. What is fracking?
5. Does fracking cause earthquakes?
The second article (to be read HERE) addresses the following issues:
6. What chemicals are added to water used in fracking?
7. What are the sources of water used in fracking and where does the water go after the fracking?
8. Have water sources, such as drinking water wells, ever been contaminated by fracking?
