Hydraulic fracturing is better known as fracking is a drilling method used for drilling both oil and natural gases from deep underground. Many argue that it is an environmentally friendly and cost-effective method while others see it as a major contribution to contamination in the world due to pollution level release to the atmosphere. The article discusses the advantages and disadvantages of clean fracking technology.
It boosts the economy. Think of it this way, when a country can drill their own oil and natural gases; they are able to save the amount that they would have used in importing. They will also be able to export to other countries and therefore make a fortune. There will be no more dependence on other countries for these products and in return they gain in their GDP and have food security by purchasing more food for the residents.
Emission of carbon gas is one of the causes of the beauty of the environment fading away. Fracking does not cause the emission of carbon gases into the air. If there is enough oil and natural gas, it can sustain the country for as long as needed or at least until people are able to find a way to benefit directly from the sun and the wind.
The rate of crime highly decreases due to many people getting employed. This is because it is a great source of employment. An oil discovery translates into employment opportunities for a huge number of people. This improves the lives of not only individuals but also whole families. As earlier mentioned, crime goes down as people have a new way of providing for themselves.
Everything on a positive side has some negativity. One of the negative effects of fracking include; it is harmful to both the environment and human beings. As much as there is reduced carbon emission, the tankers transporting the product give off carbon emissions that affect the air. The drilling also causes a lot of noise that disrupts peace in the area.
We all need water to be able to go about our daily activities. Unfortunately, there comes a time when the earth is really dry, and water becomes a problem. It does not help the situation when this water, instead of being used by people, it is being used at the drilling site. Both people, animals and the environment suffer.
There is the possibility of water contamination. When drilling a water pipe may accidentally be hit. It may cause for chemicals to go into the water, therefore, causing the disease to the surrounding community. There have also been complaints by homeowners about discovering traces of chemicals in their water pipes which may have led to serious illness.
Considering that this job includes encountering all kinds of chemicals, the workers are likely to fall ill easily. Some companies neglect to enforce safety measures. Some workers also ignore the protective gear. For example, one may neglect to wear gumboots because they are hard to move around in or they just do not feel up to it.
