Indirect benefits of fracking for Indian farmers
Position
1
#243970
The bean crop called guar can stiffen water so much that it is able to carry sand sideways in horizontal fracturing. This fact benefits Indian farmers in the state of Rajasthan.
Halliburton's loss in earnings is an Indian farmer's gain when his bean drop, guar, rises in demand as a critical ingredient in hydraulic fluid for fracking.
