Political and Economic Thoughts on the Fracking Nation Introduction Hydraulic fracturing‚ or fracking‚ is a horizontal drilling method that extracts natural gas from Marcellus shale formations thousands of feet below the surface. A high pressure water mixtures is pushed into a well‚ and pressure applied so the shale cracks and releases gas. The gases are then captured and refined. Since this high technology system has been developed‚ there has not been enough structured support‚ such as reports

Hydraulic fracturing‚ also known as fracking‚ is the process of injecting a combination of sand‚ water‚ and chemicals with very high pressure into deep rock formations such as coal beds‚ shale‚ and tight sandstone to break up the rocks and release natural gas‚ an affordable energy source that helps to meet the continuously growing need of the world for power. This procedure has been being performed for decades ultimately causing some controversy about the benefits vs. the dangers. Some of the supporters

What Is Fracking and Why Is It Controversial? Fracking is the process of drilling down into the earth before a high-pressure water mixture is directed at the rock to release the gas inside. Hydraulic fracturing is the most popular method of exploitation of gas and oil from shale formations. After discovering hydraulic fracturing it has become possible at all production of hydrocarbons from unconventional deposits. Despite the many advantages of hydraulic fracturing raises a

which accounted 44.7% and natural gas which accounted 41.6%. These sources remain major ones. However‚ the share of coal and coke increased from 9.1% in 2005 to 11.2 % in these years and only 2.5% came from the non-fossil source of hydro power in 2010. From the statistics‚ it shown that there were a slightly fall for the average annual growth rate (%) of crude oil from 3.6% to 3.5%‚ and coal from 17.2% to 8.8%.
