Though this is good news, this is kind of fake news to get greenies worked-up.  Fracking has been done regularly for decades on the North Slope.  Without fracking, today there would likely not be enough oil to allow flow through the big pipe to Valdez.  The only real difference here is that it is fracking being done in a shale formation.  Thank you Great Bear for doing business in Alaska.  I hope this venture is profitable for you, for the Alaskans you employ, for the service companies you hire and for the State of Alaska.
