Are the Benefits of Fracking Worth The Risks? Well the first thing you need to know that fracking is a better and cleaner way to get natural gas.But there are also risks that includes water contamination, Which i will go in deeper later.Fracking makes gas cheaper and we have more access to gas and oil.Which alouds us to gain and access all this natural gas.Also fracking is increasing in employment opportunities, the increase of fracking technology has increased the employment rate 67% which is good because there is still a lot of natural gas that still needs to be access.But the real question is that “Are benefits of fracking worth the risks” which is a question that some people ask and if you don't know what fracking is just look down below …show more content…
What's the process of fracking and why we use it? The process of Hydraulic Fracturing is when a shaft is drilled hundred meters into the earth.Then a horizontal hole is drilled into the gas bearing layer of rock then the fracking fluid is pumped into the ground which makes the ground crack.The fluid which is pumped into the ground contains sand and other chemicals.The sand helps the cracks stop closing and the chemicals helps kill bacteria,condense the water and many other things.Why do we use fracking? Well first fracking is more clean and we can use it anytime.Example when the sun doesn't shine we can't use solar power or when the wind doesn't blow we can't use wind power.Another reason is that gas and oil is cheaper we
