The cover story of the most recent National Review is a terrific article by Kevin Williamson that counters the uninformed hysteria about hydraulic fracturing, the technique that has lead to a gas and oil boom in the United States.

He hits the nail on the head when he discusses the real motivation behind the opposition to fracking.
