Moreover‚ Mooney revealed the truth about fracking in his text. He argued that constant fracking would introduce thousands of toxic chemicals to potable water. In both circumstances‚ the two techniques used for accessing natural resources pollute our limited water supply. This demonstrates how society prioritizes its resources

involves a technique called hydraulic fracturing‚ or fracking‚ in which dangerous chemicals are mixed with large quantities of water and sand and injected into wells at extremely high pressure. Fracking is a suspect in polluted drinking water in Arkansas‚ Colorado‚ Pennsylvania‚ Texas‚ Virginia‚ West Virginia and Wyoming‚ where residents have reported changes in water quality or quantity following fracturing operations. NRDC opposes expanded fracking until effective safeguards are in place. Natural

There has been an oil boom in the United States’ lower 48. New drilling techniques‚ namely horizontal drilling‚ have paved the way for domestic oil companies to exploit hard to reach homeland oil reserves. Due to a controversial technology known as “fracking‚” oil and gas drilling has seen an explosion in production‚ and with higher production comes a need for labor. These laborers need a place to live and currently‚ housing is in high demand. A major concern that most cities and counties have is how
