their concerns. Since fracking has been around since the 1940s‚ jobs have employed many people. Amazingly‚ fossil fuels are an abundant source‚ so it is cheap and readily available. For instance‚ the production of natural gas has risen from 14% in 2009 to 47% in 2013‚ which is a dramatic increase in a 4 year time period. However‚ since the leak off of the water from fracking sites get infected‚ they head to other sources of water‚ and infect human drinking water. The fracking industry has brought

The Controversial Process of Fracking: A focus on the Karoo: Lauren Bennett (g12b1123) The process of hydraulic fracking involves sand and specially treated water (with chemicals)‚ being blasted down on to rock crevices‚ at extremely high pressures.1 This is done in order to literally open the rock up‚ thereby releasing the natural gas that is present in them. This process‚ however‚ has recently become more intense. As a means to be able to drill in to the rock a great deal

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

fracturing is a process used in nine out of 10 natural gas wells in the United States‚ where millions of gallons of water‚ sand and chemicals are pumped underground to break apart the rock and release the gas. Scientists are worried that the chemicals used in fracturing may pose a threat either underground or when waste fluids are handled and sometimes spilled on the surface. The natural gas industry defends hydraulic fracturing‚ better known as fracking‚ as safe and efficient. Thomas J. Pyle‚ president

woodland areas from deforestation to protection against the gas industry. Hydraulic fracturing is the process by which natural gas is extracted from the earth’s shales. The process begins with drilling through several layers of the earth‚ like the freshwater aquifer. Next‚ water with “fracking fluid” is injected into the drilled area to crack the shale. This water comes back up to the surface and is put into a pit to evaporate. The natural gas flows up‚ and is then stored. The process is simple enough
