Fracking causes cancer‚ organ damage‚ and death. In order to get a typically fracked well these companies are required to use between 55 Thousand and 220 Thousand litres of chemicals. The Government and companies are tricking us into thinking that the fracking process is a natural occurring inconvenience

Fracking is an oil well process that requires someone to inject water under high pressure into a bedrock formation. It has a few different names like hydrofracking‚ hydrofracturing and hydraulic fracturing. It is used to increase oil flow to a well from petroleum-bearing rock formations that is seeing increasing use across the country. Oil was originally refined for lubrication‚ heating and lighting products. Automobiles did not exist yet so the by product calledgasoline was dumpedinto lakes‚ rivers

regarding the hydraulic fracturing. This procedure is used to release earths natural gasses and is harming our environment extensively. Hydraulic fracturing uses substantial amounts of water in combination with sand and toxic chemicals to push natural gas out of the ground. I state my concerns and suggestions below. Citizens of Kansas and Missouri need safe and plentiful water for public use and for farm and ranch performance. On average‚ a single fracturing takes 1-8 million gallons of water to complete

Fracking is a process is the process which uses mixtures of water‚ sand‚ and other fluids. Which the fluids are put into the ground under high pressure which cause fractures in the rocks. When the fractures are caused they release the gases that are being mined for. The main reason why fracking is used is to mine for natural gases. Fracking is where 40-56% of the natural gases come from. http://www.what-is-fracking.com/what-is-hydraulic-fracturing/ Fracking isn’t the best type of mining because

It starts out with a drill rig and a holding tank for the first 3 months‚ but then once the well is dug‚ it looks like another oil drill‚ and will continue to draw oil from the ground for the next 20-30 years. Fracking involves the use of radioactive materials‚ explosives‚ and hazardous chemicals. I believe that‚ as Fracking becomes more popular‚ and less scrutinized‚ the watch over it will become

I have always been against the practice of fracking and I felt it had too many negative implications. I was thoroughly disappointed by the U.S volume of fracking. I believed that this process isn’t natural and agreed with the authors (Botkin & Keller) that we need to understand the environment better first before undergoing such methods. The environmental

The process of hydraulic fracking requires chemicals that can affect the families that live nearby. These chemicals also affect the environment on the land and in the air. With fracking there comes its positives and its negatives‚ some good and some bad. There are very few regulations on how fracking can be done‚ but in the regulations
