Critique about fracking (obv my favorite subject that interests me)




I just read an interesting article  by one of my classmates about http://dmesswtexas.blogspot.com/2013/11/risk-it-for-natural-gas.html and yes the fracking issue is not a good idea and the author of this editorial makes a great argument why it is bad even though the idea of natural gas may sound tempting. This is a great argument because it explains exactly what fracking is and yes the idea of it being hazardous to peoples health is a great issue to touch on. who wants to risk drinking dirty water mixed with a bunch of chemicals?  Another interesting argument is that there is a drought in Texas already why add fracking to the cause? Is the drought going to get any worse and if it does then would fracking be worse then it already is too?  Thats something that everyone should consider when they read this article.

Theres maybe only a few problems I have with this article and that is the amount of arguments presented, it only seems like there is one thing in jeapordy when it comes to fracking.  Also, there is no evidence that it is bad to peoples health, maybe a link to an article about how bad fracking is to ones health or some sort of instances where it has been bad if such exists?  This is a good article written and it should be read by anyone who is interested(like me) in this issue.  I totally agree.
