Ithaca College will hold an educational forum on the highly complex and controversial issue of hydraulic fracturing (also known as "fracking") on Wednesday, November 3rd, starting at 6:30PM in the Emerson Suites in the Campus Center. Some geologists estimate that there is enough natural gas locked into dense rock deep beneath Pennsylvania and New York to meet our energy needs for many years. But freeing that natural gas requires a drilling and extraction process called hydraulic fracturing that uses large amounts of water mixed with chemicals that some fear could pollute water above and below ground and deplete aquifers. Come learn about the different perspectives and concerns involved in this issue.
