EPA to Hold Meetings on Fracking

The Environmental Protection Agency is planning a series of public meetings to collect information on fracking.

Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, uses injections of water and chemicals to break up underground shale formations so oil and gas can be more easily recovered.

The practice has drawn criticism because of concerns it could affect supplies of drinking water.

The meetings will be held in Cannonsburg, Fort Worth, Texas, Denver, and Binghamton, N.Y.
