A fad? No, a rush, everywhere in North America and the province of Quebec is among the targets.
There might be important reserves of natural gas in the Saint-Lawrence Lowlands of Quebec in Canada. The energetic and economic potential might be considerable. But to extract this gas, one must fracture the rock underground, a process with uncertain consequences. Shale gas… at what price for the environment?
A journalistic investigation that shook public opinion in Quebec.
