What is Hydro-fracking?

Hydro-fracking is natural gas extraction. This is a method that allows for natural gas mining to be more economically friendly. The process increases the flow of water from a bed rock well by increasing the size and extent of the bedrock fractures. These fractures bring water to the well. This alternative is much more cost effective than drilling. Water is forced into a low yield water well at a high pressure and volume opening up and cleaning out the existing features in the bedrock.

Drilling companies add chemicals to the water and then drill. Theres a high chance these chemicals can contaminate our water. A lot of companies believe that hyrdo-fracking is a clean source of energy, when in reality a lot of methane is released into the atmosphere. Methane is one of the greenhouse gasses that is destroying our earth.
