> Today, we release a critical new book: SNAKE OIL: How Fracking's False Promise of Plenty Imperils Our Future. Written by PCI Senior Fellow Richard Heinberg, SNAKE OIL casts a critical eye not only on the environmental impacts of new oil and gas production but also on the industry hype that has hijacked America’s energy conversation.
> “SNAKE OIL exposes the unsustainable economics behind the so-called fracking boom, giving the lie to industry claims that natural gas will bring great economic benefits and long-term energy security to the United States. In clear, hard-hitting language, Heinberg reveals that communities where fracking has taken place are actually being hurt economically. For those who want to know the truth about why natural gas is a gangplank, not a bridge, Snake Oil is a must-read.”

> -- Michael Brune, Executive Director of the Sierra Club and author of Coming Clean
> SNAKE OIL is available as both a paperback and Kindle.
