    Hydro-Fracking for Natural Gas Hydraulic fracking or hydro-fracking is the fracturing of rock to extract natural gases from the ground. To fracture the rock and extract the natural gases‚ a large amount of water‚ combined with chemicals‚ is pumped into the ground at high pressures to open up existing fractures. After this process‚ the gas can flow freely into the drilled gas well. However‚ Hydro-fracking should not be used because it destroys the land‚ air‚ water‚ and the health of the people.

    any contact is made. For these reasons‚ fracking in the United States should be halted. All around the United States‚ there are areas where the drilling takes place. Everywhere‚ people were told that there is nothing to worry about and that hydraulic fracturing was safe. Those people were being lied to. People in their homes were reporting health issues. Everything leads up to the water‚ and not the water that was once safe‚ but the water they came to know after the drilling of the wells. Environmental

    Analysis of the Economic & Environmental Effects of Fracking Introduction Fracking‚ or hydraulic fracturing‚ is the process of extracting natural gas from shale rock. Fracking allows the world to retain natural gas from depths that were deemed unreachable by conventional technology. Recent advancements in Fracking technology have propelled America to the forefront of natural gas extraction. By this method‚ the shale rock is punctured with a high pressure fluid‚ causing it to rupture and

    Hydraulic Fracturing “Fracking‚” or hydraulic fracturing‚ is a controversial technology that was originally developed over 60 years ago. It allows us to obtain oil and hydrocarbons from otherwise inaccessible underground locations by drilling thousands of feet into the Earth and intentionally fracturing the shale. The oils and hydrocarbons are collected and then refined into pipeline quality natural gas. Natural gas is cleaner‚ more reliable‚ and more abundant than other fossil fuels. In recent
