Summary:
In this article, the author talks about the obvious risks and rewards of hydrofracking. Although some would say that the rewards outweigh the risks, but this author doesn't seem to be one of them. The author elaborates on the fact that this type of fracking would be harmful to the Australian environment where it is being done. The main problem the author has with it is that they are trying to dispose of the harmful wastes in a clean water source that provides fresh water to the surrounding households.
However, there are rewards that the author mentions as well. The amount of natural gas that we could find by hydrofracking would be extremely helpful to the pollution problem we currently have with fossil fuels. However, my opinion tends to be the same as the authors in that the risks right now are too high to attempt this worldwide.

Couldn't find much about the author on this one, maybe I should consider not using this as one of my sources.
