Fracking traces back into the 1940s

Fracking is the recovery process of natural Gas deep under Earths surface. In layers of  Water and sand chemicals are released to enclose natural gas.

In the Last 10 yrs in the US there has been a huge fracking boom, because most Nautral gas uses have been exhausted, and moved onto this way of operating. It has been known since the 1940s.

 It Pro for how attractive fracking is & how profitable it can be. And the consumption of energy production needed with fracking.

60% of today is drilled by fracking. The process is a shaft is  drilled into a horizontal hole into a layer of rock fluid in earth. With Fracking fluid being pumped in at a high performance.

The average fluid consist is

8 million liters of water = 65,000 people + 1,0000+ sand & 200,000 + chemicals

These mixtures penetrate into rock layer creating these tiny cracks. And sand creates cracks and keeps them from closing.

The majority of fluid pumped out of natural gas can recover now. Gas is resolved and the crack is refilled at the end of the process. Fracking is pumped back in and sealed.

 Risks!

The contamination of drinking water resources! Fracking includes refresh water and is highly toxicated. The contamination is so sever water it can not be treated even at a treatment plant! Even the US Resources have been contaminated.

Companies using it today say nothing about it and there are about 700,000 chemical agents who may be using it.

Potential Risk of drinking it!
