claim that it is safe and that there are no negative impacts because of hydraulic fracturing. However‚ many scientists and environmentalists think otherwise. There is scientific proof that hydraulic fracturing contaminates drinking water‚ produces wastewater that contains toxins and radiation‚ and‚ in rare cases‚ causes earthquakes. It is clear that Hydraulic fracturing should be banned because of all its negative side effects. To start off‚ to frack rocks deep underground to release the natural gas

bio gas Co-digestion of Biomass for Methane Production: Recent Research Achievements Wei Wu ABSTRACT Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a process by which microorganisms break down biodegradable material in the absence of oxygen. Anaerobic digestion can be used to treat various organic wastes and recover bio-energy in the form of biogas‚ which consists mainly of CH4 and CO2. A great option for improving yields of anaerobic digestion of solid wastes is the co-digestion of multiple substrates. Numerous

Hydrofracking By Zach Burkhart Marcellus Shale is a geologic formation containing natural gas that stretches across much of the Eastern U.S.‚ from New York to Tennessee. It has been a topic of hot debate over the past few years and continues to be a point of contention between landowners‚ governments‚ institutions‚ and private companies‚ even earning the attention of President Obama in his 2012 State of the Union speech. While geologists have known of the Marcellus Shale for years‚ early estimates

I dare you to make it throughout the day without touching a product associated with oil. Shifting our reliance on foreign fossil fuels to local energy sources in the United States poses many benefits. The oil and gas industry is one of the biggest industries in the United States. Fracking is the process of injecting water‚ sand and small amounts of chemicals into the ground‚ causing shale to crack‚ releasing natural gas. We don’t have a choice; we depend on fossil fuels every day to survive. Fracking
