Discussion on the Ethical Implications of Hydraulic Fracturing by: Sebastian Potes 7/16/13 ! Abstract As concern grows over the environmental impact of hydraulic fracturing‚ implementing policy that protects people and their environment from these potential dangers becomes an essential piece of the renewable energy picture. Hydraulic fracturing‚ or fracking‚ is the technique of extracting oil and natural gas trapped under ground by injecting a mixture of water‚ sand‚ and chemicals into the

Wittfogel was that of ‘hydraulic civilizations’ (Minnery 2010a). Hydraulic civilizations were described as those whose agricultural system was reliant upon significant government-directed water systems for irrigation and flood management (Encyclopædia Britannica 2010). Wittfogel listed that Egypt‚ India‚ Mesopotamia‚ Northern China and pre-Columbian Mexico and Peru were examples of hydraulic civilizations (Minnery 2010a). This paper will focus on the theories of the Wittfogel’s hydraulic civilization and

State the primary legal issue raised by hydraulic fracturing; state the primary environmental issues raised by hydraulic fracturing; and state what part of hydraulic fracturing plays or will play in meeting U. S. energy needs. Finding more energy sources including oil and natural gas will help to meet the energy demand and help provide our country with reliable fuel supplies. The prediction is that oil and natural gas will continue to provide more than half of the energy needs for American

In 2015 the United States produced over US over 7.66 billion cubic meters of natural gas in 2015 (cia1). This natural gas was the largest source of electric energy in the country (eia1). The US energy information administration currently estimates that two thirds of this natural gas was extracted from the ground using a process known as hydraulically fractured. This is when hydraulic fluid is injected under high pressures into wells deep underground in order to cause the underground rock formations
