Merrill Sheds Light On Fracking

Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is nothing new.


Stephanie Merrill of the New Brunswick Conservation Council says there are seven companies in the province, all in different stages of shale gas exploration.

She says there is actual production in Penobsquis, and they have been producing gas there for almost 10 years.

However, Merril adds, people are just starting to realize now that it's not new and the exploration has been around for awhile.

Merril giving Charlotte County residents the pros and cons of fracking at a meeting last night in St. Stephen.

She wants everyone to have all the facts, before deciding to go for or against the controversial issue.
