Play
 
Last week research revealed that a 2011 earthquake in Youngstown, OH could be linked to hydraulic fracturing in that area. Some worry about fracking's dangers, citing water pollution and respiratory illness among them. Others say it's a safe way to extract a wealth of natural gas from the earth. This hour we'll get an update on the debate in Ohio and Pennsylvania, and see if industry promises have come true.

Guests:

Tom Stewart, Exec. VP, Ohio Oil and Gas Association
Melanie Houston, director of water policy and environmental health, Ohio Environmental Council
Melissa Troutman and Joshua B. Pribanic, co-directors, The Triple Divide
