Fracturing of America Even though Hydraulic Fracturing is changing our dependence on fossil fuels‚ it could very well be changing our most precious resource‚ our water supplies. The average fracturing site uses an estimated 70 to 140 billion gallons of water to fracture 35‚000 wells in the United States annually. This is approximately the yearly water consumption of 40 to 80 cities each with a population of 50‚000. This water is infused with chemicals that seep back into our groundwater and contaminate

“Hydraulic Fracturing or Fracking is a process in which fractures in rocks below the earth’s surface are opened and widened by injecting chemicals and liquids at high pressure”(Dictionary). This type of mining is used to extract natural gas and oil by drilling a mile or more below the surface. Fracking has been “commercially used for 65 years”(Introduction)‚ supplying Americans energy. Hydraulic Fracturing has allowed for the increase in supplies of oil and natural gas. It is currently the best and
