What Is Fracking? Why You Should Care
What Is Fracking?
Fracking is the process of drilling a hole deep into the earth before sending a high pressure powered mixture directed at the rock beneath with the goal of releasing a stream of valuable gas and/or oil. There are benefits to this manipulation of earth, and there are also consequences. It’s an important conversation that’s been placed in front of cities, states, and countries for some time as the demand of technology and fuel grows further into the 21st century.
What Are The Benefits?
The U.S. Has benefit from fracking, extracting oil from the ground, by driving the price of fuel down and giving us “gas security” for an estimated 100 more years or more. With it, we’ve also been able to produce electricity with half the emissions of coal. These benefits might be short lived when you consider the amount it threatens our environment, but these consequences are hard for some minds to see since it probably won’t effect them in their lifetime. Fracking will most likely benefit fewer people now, and effect the masses later on, and the U.S. Will be the example of what can happen due to their willingness to test nature to the extent they have fracking.
What Are The Environmental Threats of Fracking?
To set the scene, let’s look at the United Kingdom’s experimental fracking experience. After long time debate about allowing any fracking to ensue in their territory, test sites have been appointed for experimental fracking. In 2011, 2 earthquakes of 1.5 and 2.2 hit the area in nearby Lancashire and were found probably related to the drilling. Different areas involved with the originally approved test sites reacted differently and some have not approved further fracking for over 5 years. In areas where fracking hasn’t been the norm, the possibility is a scary one that makes residents willing to flea their homes if approval is granted near them.
A lot of the threats to the environment will be best guesses because there has not been enough research conducted on the consequences of drilling, but the earth has spoken loud enough to be heard in many cases. “Is anyone listening?” is another question.
Fracking can threaten water supplies because drilling into the earth with high pressure is not just a fruitful process of gas and oil, but can unleash any chemical or substance from the earth including Methane, which has contaminated much of the water sources near fracking sites already. There are several points within the process that leave our water sources vulnerable, including the water mixture used to release the gas from the earth in the first place. This mixture includes 600 known toxins and carcinogens including lead, mercury, and formaldehyde. Then the adequate disposable of the waste water and chemicals created from the process should be closer examined. It has not been strictly regulated, nor the aftermath studied enough. Remember Erin Brockovich? The story is too real with fracking. There has been over 1,000 cases of contamination near U.S. Fracking sites that include reports of sensory, respiratory, and neurological damage caused from the drinking water. It’s been decently documented that the water from fracking sites isn’t being adequately treated by our current facility’s procedures and that there are radioactivity levels involved that are much higher than approved safe.
Because water is the main component of the fracking process, up to 90% of the water used in fracking will never be returned to the environment for our consumption, which is a precious resource already under threat for a number of other reasons. More than ever, we need to protect this resource over others.
What Is The Social Risk Involved With Continued Fracking?
Furthermore, citizens can fear that the approval of fracking, if even for temporary gain of “gas security” and economic independence, will only set back research being done on alternative energy methods.

HOW A MUNICIPAL WATER DISASTER CAN HAPPEN
A municipal water disaster can present itself without warning. The potential for adverse health effects can be great. Contact your city’s municipal water department for the latest report on the safety and quality of your water. The following are examples of water disasters that took the residents of these cities by surprise.
Most recently the Flint Michigan water disaster comes to mind. Flint had switched using the Detroit water system to using the Flint River. Soon after, high levels of lead were detected in tested homes. The water from the river was corrosive to the city water pipes which leached lead into the water supply. Lead poisoning can cause organ damage. In children it can cause brain damage.
Our nations capitol Washington, D.C. faced a water crisis when it was discovered that their lead levels were unacceptable. It was found that the change from using chlorine to chloramine caused premature pipe corrosion resulting in lead leaching into the water supply.
Cryptosporidium, a parasite, lives in the intestines of infected humans and animals. Feces from hosts can enter municipal water supplies by farm runoff and storm water. Milwaukee Wisconsin had a cryptosporidiosis outbreak in 1993 which caused illness to 400,000 people. Of which at least 69 people died. This incident became the largest documented waterborne disease outbreak in U.S. History. Cryptosporidium oocysts are tiny and were able to pass through the water facility’s filtration system. Milwaukee has put in place practices that has improved water quality security including water monitoring equipment and updated filters.
In 2014, the Toledo , Ohio metropolitan area residents were under an order not to drink or cook with the water. Samples taken from a water treatment plant indicated a toxin call microcystin. This toxin was a result of a large bloom of algae on Lake Erie. Microcystins form with the conditions of warm stagnant water and oversupply of nutrients. Fertilizer runoff from cropland contributing to the process. Ingestion of this toxin can cause liver damage.
It is recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to have an emergency supply of water in an event of a water crisis. Your water supply should include one gallon of water per person for three days. Ideally This water should be commercially bottled and sealed to ensure its safety. Rotate out bottles with close expiration dates. Include extra water if you have pets.
