Fracking Risk Communication

by Peter M. Sandman

Thomas Jefferson

"It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself."

"Only an armed people can be truly free. Only an unarmed people can ever be enslaved."

“A theory which is not refutable by any conceivable event is nonscientific. Irrefutability is not a virtue of a theory (as people often think) but a vice.”
