You know "frack" is such a versatile word. This YouTube video does a fabulous job of illustrating that. Note that it has a particular point of view on the environmental issues raised by fracking. It's gotten almost 80,000 hits.Credit goes to the New York Times Green blog for pointing it out today.

Josephine Marcotty has covered the environment in Minnesota for eight years, with expertise in water quality, agriculture, critters and mining. Prior to that she was a medical reporter, with an emphasis on mental illness, transplant medicine and reproductive health care.
