Webinars on 'The Fracking Revolution' set Dec. 4

You keep hearing about horizontal hydraulic fracturing for oil and gas in Northern Appalachia, Texas and North Dakota, never thinking about how fracking might affect your community. But it could, from drilling operations to pipelines to water supplies to a broad economic impact. In a free one-hour webinar Dec. 4, Marilyn Geewax, a senior business editor with NPR, will help you understand how this unleashing of massive supplies of fossil fuels is changing all of our lives.

"The energy revolution is making U.S. manufacturing competitive again and soon could be generating millions of jobs from Maine to California. And it’s having a broad impact on the environment, tax revenues and politics," says the Reynolds Center for Business Journalism, which is sponsoring the webinar, "The Fracking Revolution: Finding Energy Stories Everywhere." It will be held twice, at noon and 4 p.m. ET. For more information, or to register, go to www.businessjournalism.org.
