All Sides with Ann Fisher - 10:00 AM - Fracking Expansion and Risks in Ohio
 
Play
 
Last week, a fracking well in Monore County caught fire and likely sent contaminants into Possum Creek, killing fish for miles. Proponents of fracking say it's a plentiful and cheap energy source, but some worry about its links to explosions and earthquakes. This hour we'll examine the expansion of fracking in Ohio, and its public health consequences.

Guests:

Andy Chow, reporter at the Ohio Public Radio Statehouse News Bureau
Nathan G. Johnson, attorney for the Ohio Environmental Council
Tom Stewart, executive vice president of the Ohio Oil and Gas Association
