Fracking Argument Essay

Fracking has been a worldwide talk for a couple years on whether it is efficient to get the oil and gas from the Earth or non efficient. A way that it would be non efficient is that it has many negative effects against the Earth. Especially to the environment and people’s health. Many people have taken notes of these effects, and are now nervous or not on board with the concept. A solution that would get people on board with fracking is to make sure that it is done in a clean and efficient way. How fracking is done today arise many environmental. Right now fracking is done by injecting a high pressurized mixture of water, sand, and chemicals deep into the Earth to break through rock layers and shale rock in order to extract the oil and/or gas from the rocks (Dechert). This causes small earthquakes to happen after time to time. By making sure that fracking is done in a more efficient way, there could be less to no earthquakes happening from fracking. Eliminating this output will get more people ready to accept fracking knowing they don't have to
There are still many setbacks to fracking for example earthquakes, water pollution, air pollution, and health problems that need to be worked out in order to make it the best it can be. By using different chemicals during the process of fracking can make it cleaner and less destructive to the environmental. Another way to solve the many setbacks could be to not use fresh water as apart of the mixture that is drilled into the Earth to get the oil and gas. That way we are not struggling for clean water, and getting sick from drinking water. The last solution would be to move the fracking sites away from houses, so it does not harm the people greatly. Fracking could be an amazing way of securing a new and efficient way of getting energy to use if we first fix some problems of the
