Contaminated water‚ contaminated soil‚ polluted air‚ exposure to toxic chemicals and long term health effects. Fracking brings more harm than good. Fracking is accomplished when a well with veins (small branching off pathways)‚ is drilled. This pathway altogether tends to be over a mile long. Shale containing gas or oil is fractured

known as “fracking” is responsible for the historic boom in production of domestic gas and oil. Over the past few years‚ advances in fracking creates fractures that extend from wells into oil and gas formations by pumping highly-pressurized fluid; water‚ sand‚ ceramic beads‚ and a mixture of chemicals into the oil or gas formation. As this fluid holds the underground fissures open‚ oil and gas flow up the well to the surface where they can be recovered. Over the past few years‚ advances in fracking

To ensure that neither the fluid that will eventually be pumped through the well‚ nor the oil or gas that will eventually be collected‚ enters the water supply‚ steel surface or intermediate casings are inserted into the well to depths of between 1‚000 and 4‚000 feet. The space between these casing “strings” and the drilled
