Fracking cannot reduce dangerous carbon emissions because minor leakages in the natural gas harvested result in enormous atmospheric contamination. Furthermore fracking contaminates millions of gallons of water with chemicals that are undisclosed to the EPA. Instead we should move immediately to developing renewable wind, solar and hydroelectric energy, which are much needed for present and future generations.
Why is this important?
Fracking results in extensive contamination of water, a precious resource. It is important instead to develop immediately, alternative sources of energy such as wind, solar and hydroelectric energy as well as to deploy a better energy grid.
