In “The Fracking Truth‚” Chris Faulkner argues that fracking has almost no consequences. Perhaps the strongest argument that Faulkner gives for this claim relies on three claims that (1) subsurface contamination from fracking is almost impossible‚ (2) low concentrations of any harmful chemicals used in fracking would be negligible and (3) earthquake activity caused by fracking are nearly moderate to small. In this paper‚ I will argue that this argument fails because there are many consequences of

How A Steel Mill Works The principal consumables employed in steel production are iron ore‚ coal‚ scrap metal and electrical energy.

15 Nonrenewable Energy A Brief History of Human Energy Use Core Case Study Everything runs on energy. Some sources of energy‚ such as oil‚ coal‚ and natural gas—also called fossil fuels—as well as uranium used to fuel nuclear power plants‚ are nonrenewable because they take millions of years to form in the earth’s crust.
