How Is Hydraulic Fracturing GREEN ENERGY?
Hydraulic Fracturing commonly known as ‘Fracking,’ in my opinion is far from being ‘GREEN ENERGY.’ For with Hydraulic Fracturing, tons of water, sand and chemicals are forced underground at high pressure. This pressure forces cracks in the rock to allow natural gas to be released. Sounds good so far, doesn’t it? However, although that sounds simple, if cracks appear in the well shaft, leakage of chemicals will go into the ground water supply. If this contamination happens and its ingested, it can cause sensory, respiratory or neurological damage. Also, chemicals evaporate into the air per extraction, this contributes to the air pollution and endangers those living within the vicinity. Well that’s the clean air policy out of the window! You cannot sugar coat ‘Fracking,’ it’s the worse type of drilling that not only endangers health but it’s also bad for the environment especially as the waste is not biodegradable and is difficult to get rid of. It also crea...
