The Great Lakes: Mixing Water And Oil

"Soaring energy prices have renewed interest in oil and natural gas reserves beneath the Great Lakes, rekindling debate over whether one of the world's largest sources of fresh water should also be a source of cheap energy.It's the latest salvo in a debate that's heating up around the Great Lakes, especially in the wake of this winter's natural gas bills. Environmental groups and other opponents are lining up to protect the region's greatest natural resource?the lakes themselves?from potential harm. Producers say they're trying to give consumers what they want: cheap energy."
