In an article published by the Inter Press Service show the extremes that the companies have taken keep the public out of the loop on whats really happening. This article is stating that extreme measures have been taken in order to suppress evidence on hydraulic fracturing or fracking. A family in Pennsylvania has reached a settlement with a energy fracking company for an undisclosed amount. The most unexpected outcome of the settlement was a gag order on the family, which included two children of the ages seven and ten, which prohibit them from talking about living close to the fracking site at any point in their life. This seems to be an okay article, it provides a good controversy topic for fracking.
