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

stream off walls and ceilings to project the fire into blind and unseen spaces‚ such as inside bunkers or pillboxes. Typically‚ popular visual media depict the flamethrower as short-ranged and only effective for a few meters (due to the common use of propane gas as the fuel in flamethrowers in movies‚ for the safety of the actors). Contemporary flamethrowers can incinerate a target some 50–80 meters (165–270 feet) from the gunner; moreover‚ an unignited stream of flammable liquid can be fired and afterwards

THE STORY OF "GREENFREEZE" In the spring of 1992 Greenpeace brought together scientists who had extensively researched the use of propane and butane as refrigerants‚ with an East German company DKK Scharfenstein. The company had been producing refrigerators for 50 years and was the leading household appliance manufacturer in the former East Germany. After reunification‚ however‚ it faced severe economic problems and was due to be closed down. The meeting between the scientists and DKK Scharfenstein
