[Is Fracking Sustainable?](http://blog.csrhub.com/2012/04/is-fracking-sustainable.html)

Is fracking benign or bad? An opportunity to cut the cost of energy and reduce the environmental damage of oil and coal production or a threat to water resources and public health? The controversy around this issue seems to grow daily.

**[CSRHub has now added fracking (some call it fracing) to our growing list of special issues](///C:/Files/Business/EkoHub/Blog/httpwww.csrhub.com/search/special_issue/involved/Fracking%20Involved).** Those who have registered or subscribed on our site can choose to either approve of fracking (green button), disapprove of it (red button), or block out ratings entirely for companies who participate in the area (white button). The list of companies involved in this area was surprisingly long—we found that 51 companies out of the approximately 5,000 we cover participate in the area. We have partial information on another 40 or so smaller companies. We hope to be able to publish partial ratings on these companies, soon.
