I can't imagine anyone with even a rudimentary understanding of fracking thinking it is a good idea.

Jessica Ernst is an oil industry insider and when fracking brought her into a nightmare of flaming water, poisonous drinking water and ridiculous amounts of stress and upheaval in her previously idyllic homestead she fought back. She understood the science behind what was happening, she was a strong, outgoing, independant woman beholden to no one and she had exactly zero f*cks to give. She proceeded to sue the Alberta government, the Alberta Energy regulator and a powerful gas company and embroil them in a court case....for years. No quarter given.

She is a Canadian hero and Nikiforuk tells her story as well as that of others dealing with the same travesty in an easy to understand yet so maddening way.

We must do better for our children and for our earth.
