Fracking
Case Study based on
The passage mainly explains what fracking is, and the common concerns of fracking and uses some examples in the UK to show the issues. It also lists the concerns of fracking right now and gives some solutions.
First, fracking will cause a bad impact on the environment. During the process of fracking methane is a powerful greenhouse gas, and it is released in large quantities. Also, large amounts of water are used in the fracking process, which can become contaminated and contaminate underground water sources.
Secondly, fracking already exists in the US on a large scale, but it is a relatively new phenomenon in the UK, whereas fracking has been around for decades. I understand from the article that there are currently 2,152 Wells in the UK, of which only 200 have been fracked, but only England remains open to new fracking operations, with all other countries in the UK having banned.
Third, the introduction of fracking has yielded significant economic gains. This will result in some countries producing more oil and gas each year, which will lead to more trade. Governments should be responsible for regulating fracking. After all, there are safety concerns about fracking and other forms of oil and gas operations on private and state land. But fracking will produce more economic income, generating more hot jobs. So it's also a good way for the government to boost the economy.
This fracking will affect the environment and human life as well as biological life, so we should reduce the existence of fracking Wells. We can adopt policies in various countries to limit fracking or to limit water use. It is difficult to control the emission of greenhouse gases during the use of fracking. But if we reduce the amount of fracking, in a sense we can also reduce gas emissions. In addition, fracking can be lacking to select a good place to gather together, so that it will not affect the original fracking Wells near the people living, but also can provide housing for employees.
