My name is Barbara Mills-Bria and I am the President of Be The Change, a progressive group in Colorado. We have been seeing articles about the the economics behind the fracking industry and it seems like they can't really afford to do this - especially if one takes into account the external costs, which are rarely taken into account. Even without considering those costs there seems to be a disconnect. I am including links to various articles and I hope you can shed some light on this subject. We are especially interested in the economics of fracking. Thanks for your consideration.
