What do you regard as the key concern in Fracking?
30th Jan 2012
Hydraulic fracturing is a hotly debated issue and continues to gather momentum as an option for sourcing much needed energy resources. Fracking extracts natural gas by pumping water, sand and chemicals down drill holes. Concerns include the amount of water the process requires and possible contamination of ground water supplies.
Lack of scientific evidence to support fracking as a safe practice to extract natural gas.
Public disclosure of studies of the health and environmental consequences of the chemicals used in natural gas drilling.
Evidence that sufficient safeguards protect drinking water from the chemicals used in drilling for natural gas.
The % of water consumed versus the amount of gas extracted.
All of the above.
None, Fracking is a good alternative to extract much needed natural gas.
