Crystal Saldana Engl101C Essay #3 Problemization Professor Logan The Problem Regarding the Welfare System I do believe people should have to work or get an education while receiving benefits. Nobody should get to get a ’free ride ’ through life! Nobody pays my way through life. I have to work for what I get. That quote is the word of a twenty-two year-old female who holds down a full-time job‚ pays rent‚ and taxes. Some‚ like her‚ may feel contempt toward welfare recipients who do not work

Fracking has been a big deal lately. Fracking is a technique to get oil and gas out of the ground but it means they have to put a pipe in the ground then send water‚sand and many other chemicals through the pipe at high-pressure. From all the pressure it makes cracks in the ground bringing up gas and oil. Even if there’s many benefits from fracking there’s many disadvantages to. My claim on this problem is that we should stop the process of fracking. My opponents say Fracking should stay since it

The Effects of Fracking What is Fracking? Fracking‚ also referred to as fracturing or drilling‚ is the process of drilling 5‚000 to 20‚000 feet into the earth and applying hydraulic pressure to the surrounding area until it cracks. The target area for oil and gas drilling companies is in the shale‚ a soft layer of sedimentary rock broken apart by using a mixture of 98% water and 2% chemicals. These chemicals range from household cleansers to toxic chemicals‚ and is added to nearly 4 million gallons

Hydraulic fracturing‚ otherwise known as fracking‚ is a technique used to stimulate the production of oil or gas. While fracking has aided in the plumpting of gas prices across the United States‚ it unfortunately causes serious health and environmental issues. 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

Machines in factories‚ automobiles‚ and an abundance of other electronics are fueled by the result of hydraulic fracking. Hydraulic fracking‚ or hydraulic fracturing‚ is used among companies that drill underground for oil and natural gas. The drillers inject millions of gallons of water‚ sand‚ salts and chemicals—some

Geographic Trends In the past people have used many harmful process to obstruct materials from the earth. Now that people have the knowledge of how activities can harm the environment‚ this type of behavior should not be allowed. Fracking causes many serious problems like water contamination‚

Hydraulic Fracking Is it the “New Wave” of our Future? Hydraulic fracturing‚ also known as “fracking” is responsible for the historic boom in production of domestic gas and oil. Over the past few years‚ advances in fracking creates fractures that extend from wells into oil and gas formations by pumping highly-pressurized fluid; water‚ sand‚ ceramic beads‚ and a mixture of chemicals into the oil or gas formation. As this fluid holds the underground fissures open‚ oil and gas flow up the

for cooking. Fossil fuel companies developed a process for natural gas called hydraulic fracturing. Hydraulic fracturing has become the most used technique in the United States’ to produce oil and natural gas. Hydraulic fracturing is also knows as fracking is a technique to produce natural gas and oil. Wells are built which involves the injection of water‚ sand and chemicals at high pressure into bedrock to produce natural gas and oil. The process creates small cracks or fractures in rock formations
