1). How might fracking economically impact the country in the near and far future?
Fracking is a process that entering large quantities sand and the water chemical agent into the high-pressure pump through the wellbore to the reservoir deep underground shale. Fracturing is considered as broad prospective demand for oil and gas, leads an improvement in unemployment rate and ensures the future’s energy supply. However, according to the Earthwork in the “important date/FAQ” links, California is one of the suppliers of producing oil, there are nearly 200 million barrels of oil produced by the tens of thousands of active wells in 2013. This means fracturing is widely expanding the energy production and increasing …show more content…
According to the Earthwork, they has started to investigate the negative impacts of fracturing by collecting the air sampling data from the FLIR camera, justify whether the population is exposing to the toxic chemicals by living near the production of oil and gas area. Unexpectedly, the result is Lost Hills in Kern County, and Upper Ojai in Ventura County are being exposed to the association with developing oil and gas that related to air emissions of air pollutants. Although there were no any surveys, reports or evidence shows the odor problems related to oil and gas development, the long-term exposure does affects human health and environment seriously. Since the quality of water and living conditions are affected. So, it will lead the sustainable resources become more price-competitive in the far future. On the other …show more content…
Besides, it increases the domestic oil production, which the economy will be stabilized. However, fracking won’t truly bring us energy independence, but this means our energy is secured since Americans have no longer threaten with price spikes. According to the Californian Against Fracking, California is one of the biggest oil supplier and exporter. We can expect there are more and more oil is obtained from fracking and flow into the international market. The U.S independence leads oil in fracking enriches the oil companies financially and protects the Californians from the
