Fracking is a controversial oil and gas extraction technique that has been rapidly expanding across the United States. Proponents of fracking argue that it is a safe and necessary way to produce energy, while opponents say that it is a dangerous and polluting process that is harming communities and the environment.

In her book When Fracking Comes To Town, journalist Sharon Kelly takes a close look at the impact fracking is having on communities across America. Kelly travels to fracking hotspots in Pennsylvania, Texas, and Wyoming, and she talks to residents who are living with the consequences of fracking. She also interviews scientists and experts who are studying the health and environmental effects of fracking.

Kelly's book is a powerful indictment of fracking. She documents the many ways that fracking is harming people and the planet. She shows how fracking has polluted water and air, caused health problems, and destroyed property. She also shows how fracking is contributing to climate change, the most pressing environmental issue of our time.

When Fracking Comes To Town is a must-read for anyone who cares about the future of our planet. Kelly's book is a wake-up call that we need to stop fracking and transition to clean, renewable energy sources.
