The Dangers of Hydraulic Fracturing Brian Lima 17 April 2014 Johnson State College

Hydraulic fracturing is an environmentally hazardous practice that endangers humans by polluting water, degrading air quality, and compromising geological stability.

Hydraulic fracturing is associated with increased methane in drinking water wells. Osborn 2011

Methane in drinking water is extremely dangerous. Fox 2012

Flaring is a common industry practice that releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Evanson 2014

Methane escapes directly into the atmosphere when not flared. Dlugokencky 2012

Hydraulic fracturing pollutes millions of gallons of water which are stored on site or require transport. Ecosphere Technologies 2012

Hydraulic fracturing has been linked to an increase in seismic activity. Ananda 2011

Hydraulic fracturing has been linked to an increase in seismic activity. USGS 2013

Hydraulic fracturing is not worth the risk posed to human health to produce a finite, polluting source of energy.

Do not allow media savvy oil and gas companies to sway your opinion on this controversial topic. Money energy and education should be focused towards legitimate forms of clean energy rather than expanding upon production of polluting fossil fuels.
