Journalist Dimiter Kenarov spent time in Youngstown, Ohio, as part of his reporting on shale gas extraction. On Friday, February 22, he travels a hundred miles west to Oberlin College to discuss what he learned about the extraction of this fossil fuel and the controversies surrounding its removal.
"Shale Gas: From Poland to Pennsylvania," a reporting project co-funded by the Pulitzer Center and Calkins Media, took Kenarov to Eastern Europe, rural Pennsylvania and Ohio to examine the impact of shale gas extraction and the issues ranging from the potential for energy independence to the environmental and health concerns raised by the extraction method of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking.
