billion cubic meters of natural gas in 2015 (cia1). This natural gas was the largest source of electric energy in the country (eia1). The US energy information administration currently estimates that two thirds of this natural gas was extracted from the ground using a process known as hydraulically fractured. This is when hydraulic fluid is injected under high pressures into wells deep underground in order to cause the underground rock formations to fracture and release natural gas deposits. The process
