The fracking debate – FT.com

Personally, being a passionate environmentalist, I am wary of the arguments in favor of fracking. I am particularly concerned about downside risks, like polution of drinking water.

Let me turn this to an open question:

Why should some country’s like France and  states like New York ban fracking, whilst others like the UK are encouraging it?

Any thoughts?
