摘要

This article is adapted from an article originally published in Issue #27 of the Democracy journal in Summer 2015. The complete article can be accessed at http://www. democracyjournal. org/3 7/ fracking-and-the-climate-debate.php? page=all.In 2007, as alarm about climate change escalated and environmentalists struggled to stop construction of a wave of new coal-fired power plants, the Sier-raClub forged an unusual alliance. Over the next three years, the venerable environmental group received $26 million from executives at Chesapeake Energy to fund its "Beyond Coal" campaign. At the time, Chesapeake was a leading force in the still-obscure shale gas industry, which was just beginning what would be a meteoric rise. In hindsight, the odd couple—Oklahoma oilmen and California greens—seemed destined for divorce. But the underlying logic of their arrangement appeared sound. Because natural gas is less carbon-intensive than coal, if the United States could generate more electricity with it instead of coal, U.S. carbon dioxide emissions would fall and natural gas companies would profit, delivering wins for everyone involved.
