YouTube Description
as posted by the channelNatural gas, touted for its environmental, economic, and national security benefits, is often thought of as the fuel that will "bridge" our transition from oil and coal to renewables.

But contamination from toxic chemicals used in the fracking process has been the source of increasing health and environmental concerns.
