The Disadvantages Of Fracking

In my opinion i think fracking is very bad, and the outcome is not worth the drawback. Most oil companies will obviously back up that fracking isn't bad and that it has more benefits than drawbacks. Fracking might have tons of benefits but it's not worth polluting the earth. There is also a lot of downfall fracking.

One con fracking has is how much water it uses, each job uses 1 to 8 million gallons of water. One fracking job in Michigan used over 35 million gallons of water.Eventually freshwater sources will dry up as well as rivers and creeks. It's crazy how much water is used during fracking. Another con is water contamination, there are many cases of pollution caused by fracking but are not investigated fully. Fracking is so bad in all ways, it affects the earth and the people around it. Fracking should be regulated and the oil companies should have standards they should meet.
When using fracking it fractures the earth so the fracking water can run throw and bring the resources out. Another con is what they put in the solution. The hazardous solution can contain Benzene (a carcinogen) which has lead to cancer. It also contains Hydrogen sulfide. Hydrogen sulfide can affect the brain and upper-respiratory system. Obviously there is a lot of hidden information about what the oil companies are putting in the solution because if they add things like Benzene or Hydrogen sulfide why wouldn't they add other chemicals that are hazardous if they don't have
