Hydraulic Fracturing
Hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) is a drilling process used to extract dispersed gas from shale rock. Some potential concerns about fracking include possible groundwater contamination; the heavy use of water required to break apart shale gas formations; increased seismicity due to fracking operations or wastewater injection wells; methane pollution and the release of toxic chemicals that could have negative health impacts.
