Gasland 2 after thought
After seeing “Gasland 2”,
I felt that the oil giant have taken over people’s land slowly and forced them
to leave their home because of fracking along the fault line and Marcellus and Utica Shale.Fracking is to drill for oil or natural gas use high-pressure stream or
water to force the oil or gas out of the wells. Fracking may caused some earthquakes, when oil companies inject water into the ground until a certain pressure the ground can hold before an earthquake is released its energy (stress). However, it has a negative impact the environment and just a matter of
time before it pollute groundwater and air large area around the drill site with their toxin waste.Also, oil company are not reliable because
they are exempt from the Clean Water Act. Drill wells are prompt the leak over time, and it could leak huge volume
of methane gas (4 times as powerful as carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas) into
the atmosphere, which can lead to runaway global warming or climate change.The oil giant and the government hide the
truth about fracking to the public.It
is just matter of time before the oil company starts to mine the methane ice in
the arctic.
