Fracking by Liam Hipp






Fracking by definition is, “the process of injecting liquid at high pressure into subterranean rocks, boreholes, etc. so as to force open existing fissures and extract oil or gas.”

Meaning that the they force down fluids down into the ground in order to retrieve oil and gas that lays below the ground. According to the U.S Energy Information Administration, there were 23,000 hydraulically fractured wells in the US, just in 2000. Fracking releases large amounts of methane into the atmosphere causing poor air conditions. Not only does it affect air quality but it affects climate change.





How does this affect the gases in the air?




What kind of changes do we see in the environment due to the climate change from fracking?




How does that affect the natural amenities around the fracking site?

    I don't think this is good gfor the environment 1) because cows itself are releasing so much methane
    2) Would this fracking do any damage in the following years to the enviroment instead of global warming???

    Fracking is adding to global warming a ton by releasing all that methane into the atmosphere.

    Fracking tributes to global warming very much and we need talk about it more.

    Fracking hurts the environment around it and has the possibility of causing oil spills.

    I think we could definetly find alternative energy sources that are more cost effective. Patrick
