Colorado fights over who decides where to frack

In Colorado, the debate over pumping pressurized water underground to extract oil and natural gas has turned local and state governments into rivals.

Special correspondent Dan Boyce of Rocky Mountain PBS reports on how the friction between activists and industry has turned into a fight over local and state control.
