Fracking's financial fragility

from Knox Pods

Dr. Maria Fernanda Campa considers the facts revealed in Saudi America: The Truth about Fracking and How It's Changing the World by Bethany McLean. "In addition to easy access to investment capital, the oil and gas industry enjoys the biggest subsidies of any energy sector—yes, more than renewables," Campa said. "Further, the oil and gas industry is exempted from environmental policies, such as the Clean Water Act, to facilitate and support oil and gas sector production growth rate. However, even with all these economic and political advantages, it is quite interesting to read that the fracking industry is still not generating enough cash flow to carry itself." Campa is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Institute for a Secure and Sustainable Environment at the University of Tennessee studying issues in hydraulic fracturing.
