These days, the word fracking seems joined at the hip to modifiers like controversial or contentious. Little wonder: the extraction of natural gas via hydraulic fracturing is an enormous and complex issue, one that influences everything from national energy policy to public health to global climate.
Sage Magazine, in partnership with the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, will be covering the innumerable facets of the fracking debate all year.We’ll attempt to address as many links as possible, in as nuanced a way as possible; we want to tell the fracking stories that don’t show up in USA Today.

Thanks for helping us better understand public attitudes toward fracking.
