Pros
Blasts tens of thousands of gallons of chemicals deep underground, out of harm’s way
Prompts important conversation about whether or not people have a right to clean water
Chemical balance of breathable air getting a little staid
Fact that shale well blowout could happen at any moment emphasizes ephemeral beauty of life
Cancer research could use few more confounding variables
Those hardest hit will be the voiceless
Cons
Dilutes perfectly good chemicals
Family history providing enough birth defects as it is
Class action lawsuits always take forever and are super boring
Noise of drilling day and night could keep up the oh-so-precious rural farmers who live nearby and need all the sleep their sweet little heads can get
Fewer excuses to spend time with oil-rich dictatorships

    Gm 545 Project 1

    Gas prices fluctuate due to oil prices and the anticipated supply and demand worldwide. Whenever there is political unrest in a major oil producing country you will see an increase in gas prices due to the demand of oil potentially produced decreasing. Very rarely do gas prices follow the general supply and demand because if they did gas prices would be lower currently. In my hometown of Augusta, GA gas prices are always below the national average and with us bordering South Carolina many Augustans travel the short distance to pay lower prices in South Carolina which are usually $0.10-$0.15 cheaper. Much as the rest of the world goes whenever there is a threat to the supply of oil, regardless of having a surplus currently, the gas prices in this area see a $0.10-$0.20 increase sometimes within a 30 minute period.…

    Gasland And Fracknation: Film Analysis

    "Gasland" and "Fracknation" are two documentary films based off hydraulic fracturing. Hydraulic fracturing as indicated by dictionary.com is the forcing open of fissures in subterranean rocks by introducing liquid at high pressure, especially to extract oil or gas. Hydraulic fracturing started as a trial in 1947. It is a technique where a high weight of liquid (more often than not chemicals suspended in water) is infused into a wellbore to make splits in the profound rock arrangements through which regular gas, petroleum, and salt water will flow all more freely. Other than the United States, hydraulic fracking happens in New Zealand, South Africa, and the United Kingdom. Fracking has been proven gainful and additionally unbeneficial to numerous…

    Pros And Cons Of Fracking Or Hydraulic Fracturing

    Fracking, or Hydraulic Fracturing is the process of pumping a high-pressured fluid (consisting out of water, sand, and other chemicals) into shale rocks to widen the fractures (Fracking). This releases the pockets of gas or petroleum inside the rock, and making them accessible to the human (Hyder, Joseph).…

    Hydraulic Fracking

    Hydraulic fracturing experimentation started in 1947 and it had its first commercially successful applications by 1949, so it has been around for a long time. In twenty-thirteen, it is estimated that well over sixty five percent of all new oil and gas wells worldwide are using the process of hydraulic fracturing. Hydraulic fracturing, has allowed the United States to tap into domestic sources of natural gas and oil that were previously not economical to extract from such as shale beds. This has created numerous economic benefits for communities and governments in a time of economic instability.…

    Should we drill for oil in Alaska's wilderness?

    The Alaskan Wilderness that we wish to drill belongs to the Inupiat Eskimo people. By drilling in their land, we would ruin their traditional way of life. They “rely on the land and resources of the North Slope for ... physical, …cultural, and …economic well-being” (Document D). The Eskimo people live on this land and although drilling may not have harmed them yet, slowly, over time, the land will degrade by pollutants and drilling. “We…

    Hydraulic Fracturing

    Hydraulic fracturing is a 21st century method applied to extract gas from the rock bed in the Earth’s crust. It is commonly referred to as ‘fracking’. The process is carried out by breaking apart the rocks by the addition millions of gallons of water, sand and chemicals preceded by the explosion of the rock bed. It is most commonly practiced in the United States; this technique hasn’t been applied in other countries a lot. It is predicted that this would be a solution the ever rising prices of oil and natural gas due to abundance of potential shale gas reserves. Hydraulic fracturing is not a method used for extraction of conventional natural gas.…
