Effects On Our Society

WATER

In the process of Fracking, A tube goes down into the grown and minor explosion then occurs to open up the rock so the gas can come out. During that part, mostly of all the gas goes into the pipe. The rest does not which means it goes into the water system. This is proven due to this video....

Fracking needs billions of gallons of water for the next 15 years so if all the water gets contaminated then we will lose our resources of water too. Not only that, this will cause farming and hunting to decrease because those things need water. It is like a domino effect if drilling continues.

NOISE
A Couple from Cortland said “They’re at it 24-7, and while it’s not exceptionally loud, it’s very repetitive.” This demonstrates that this process is very loud if drilling is in your neighborhood. Another thing is that gas companies do not tell you the accidents that can occur such as loud explosions and fires.

LANDOWNERS
Gas companies wont take blame for damages quickly. Citizens usually don't report the cases because the court cases drag out for long.
