Workshop Paper Assignment Final Version Professor Julia Quartz As America looks to find the best source of energy at hand domestically‚ the use of hydraulic fracturing proves to be the best response. Hydraulic fracturing is more commonly known as fracking‚ is the process where natural gas is extracted from shale rock areas deep within the earth. In the US‚ an estimated total of 1.44 quadrillion cubic feet of shale gas is accessible with this technology. In 2012‚ 32 states hosted natural gas drillers

Biofuels Coal and crude oil are non-renewable resources. They take so long to form that they cannot be replaced once they have all been used up. This means that these fossil fuels are likely to become more expensive as they begin to run out. Petrol‚ diesel and other fuels produced from crude oil make a range of harmful substances when they are burned‚ including: carbon dioxide carbon monoxide water vapour particulates (solid particles) sulfur dioxide oxides of nitrogen or NOx.

There is nothing fictitious about the arguments in fracking. Hydraulic fracturing‚ also known as fracking‚ is a way of obtaining oil and gas through the practice of cracking open rocks at high pressures using water‚ sand‚ and various chemicals (Jackson‚ 2016‚ para. 1). All over America‚ numerous interest groups participate in a continuous debate on the ethics of this procedure. Two prominent documentaries that circulate the media are FrackNation by Phelim McAleer and Gasland by Josh Fox. Each

The ‘bones’ is a metaphor for loss of health and self-esteem associated with the scramble for money and‚ in terms of the fracking companies‚ the exploitation of the earth’s resources. Fracking is a process where chemicals and water are pumped into the earth causing cracks through which natural gas can escape

a new term called “fracking.” The towns were all a buzz about this new way to tap into Pennsylvania’s newest resource‚ natural gas. What I noticed was‚ a beautiful picturesque countryside being torn up. I saw trucks hauling water and equipment‚ traveling up and down small country roads. Farms that had been in family’s for generations being sold off or leased to gas companies. A new technology for tapping into a nation’s most sought after fuel‚ natural gas‚ had begun. Fracking is a technique where

PlentErgy has the skills and experience in hydraulic fracturing‚ also called “fracking‚” which is the process used for releasing oil and gas from rock formations like the Bakken Shale found in North Dakota. PlentErgy is confident in their ability to use fracking safely and successfully in order to release oil and gas from sites they will lease North Dakota. However‚ there are ethical concerns with fracking and its association with waste disposal which has been controversial. PlentErgy is concerned
