Thanks for posting this. Both Dr Ingraffea and Dr Engelder are thoughtful advocates of differing views.

In Pittsburgh we have a radio station running a series called "The Truth About Marcellus". I will await to hear if it is as unbiased as promised, however the heavy sponsorship by entities with commercial interest prompts skepticism.
