Recently, I stumbled across a blog by Larry Cathles, the Cornell faculty member who documented flaws in another Cornell study by Howarth, et al that suggested natural gas was somehow dirtier than other fossil fuels due to methane emissions and the like. We wrote about both here.

The Cathles blog, entitled Perspectives on the Marcellus Gas Resource, addresses the benefits and risks associated with Marcellus Shale gas development in an independent manner and it’s one of the most readable sources of data I’ve seen. It also includes links to several back-up documents that go into more detail, but are still very user-friendly. The whole thing is organized in a question and answer format, with both “quick answers” and more detailed explanations and supporting materials.
