(also known as fracking)‚ a way of obtaining natural gas that is used today‚ may cause cancer and may speed up global warming’s. Fracking injects a mix of water‚ "chemicals‚ sand‚ and other materials into layers of shale‚ a type of rock" (Source 1). The injection flows down a pipe that is going through the shale. To obtain the natural gas‚ the pressure in the pipe causes the rock around the pipe to crack‚ allowing natural gas to escape. Then‚ the gas flows up the well and is collected. However‚ Hydraulic

fracking? Fracking is the industry that is natural gas being abstracted from shale rock. It’s hydraulic done by injecting fluid into the ground at a high pressure in order to get into the shale rock to release natural gas. Why does the industry do this? It is more wrongs than rights but the natural gas is a clean burning gas. Gas is environmentally good when it is burnt but when it is being abstracted from the shale rock is when it is bad. The causes to get the gas is a whole outcome has a big effect

The Granger Causality model been used to examine the causal effect of energy consumption in form of disaggregate and gross domestic product. The results show that coal consumption and gas consumption does not Granger cause to economic growth in Singapore‚ and vice versa. However‚ there are two unidirectional relationships found. First‚ causality runs from economic growth to oil consumption. Second‚ causality runs from electricity consumption

come out of the ground in forms of liquids‚ gases and solids. These sources include‚ nuclear‚ natural gases‚ and coal. They are considered nonrenewable because they cannot be replenished in a short period. Actually‚ it can take thousands of years in order for them to reproduce themselves. As of now‚ crude oil or (petroleum) is the only naturally liquid profitable fossil fuel. In addition‚ natural gas and propane are normally gases‚ and coal is a solid.

the liquid can open existing cracks or holes to extract oil or gas. Fracking was discovered by Geologist who found out that further opening a rock formation can expose oil and gas that’s within the rock‚ but however even though Geologist is fascinated and intrigued by this process other people believe that Fracking is a danger to our world and cause major problems that can even harm humans‚ do to the different types of chemicals and gas that are leaking out of the rock that destroying the land and

“Natural gas has an important role to play in the Northeast region and in our nation’s overall energy future.” Ed Rendell (NY Daily News). Fracking is a great way of getting natural gas; without fracking we wouldn’t have the gas need for energy like heating and power generation. Although Fracking makes pollution worse‚ it has many positive effects on people’s lives. Fracking is a way to get natural gas; natural gas is a cleaner source of energy. Another way fracking is good is it helps increase job

There are three major forms of fossil fuels: coal‚ oil and natural gas. COAL Coal is made up of carbon‚ oxygen‚ hydrogen‚ nitrogen and some amounts of sulphur -Three main types of coal: • Anthracite : the hardest and has the most carbon in it‚ meaning higher energy content • Lignite: softest‚ low in

Contaminated water‚ contaminated soil‚ polluted air‚ exposure to toxic chemicals and long term health effects. Fracking brings more harm than good. Fracking is accomplished when a well with veins (small branching off pathways)‚ is drilled. This pathway altogether tends to be over a mile long. Shale containing gas or oil is fractured
