Poland: Fracking on the Rise?

Lane Energy of Canada is the latest energy company to announce it will begin using a technique known as fracking to drill for natural gas in Poland. While the interest in Poland's natural gas reserves (estimated at 1.5 trillion cubic meters) may help alleviate Poland's reliance on Russian natural gas imports, there are still a number of unknowns that will have to be cleared up before the technique becomes a viable source of natural gas for the country.
