Andrew Jackson is one of the most well known presidents this country has had. Leading us into victory several of times. From the battle of New Orleans and beating the Indians in the southeast. He was someone who would not back down from a fight no matter what. Jackson was the youngest of eleven kids and were not exactly wealthy. He was rebellious as a child as well as a stubborn character. His whole life all he would want would be loyalty and assurance from those around him. Jackson soon would be a lawyer but not stick to the job. He was named congressman of Tennessee and after a United States senator. After, becoming senator, he he would become the major general of the Tennessee militia. His reputation was not a great one, as he would soon…

Hydraulic fracturing, also known simply as fracking, is a process used to extract natural gas and oil from beneath the earth’s surface. This process is accomplished by drilling a well and pumping pressurized water, proppants such as sand, and chemicals into that well; the result of this process is that fractures occur within the targeted layer of shale rock, which allow for extraction of the desired gas and oil (Hyder and Lerner 2250). As a cleaner burning fuel, natural gas continues to be an…

The Environmental Protection Agency defines frackings as “A well stimulation process used to maximize the extraction of underground resources; including oil, natural gas, geothermal energy, and even water”(Environmental Protection Agency). This process, employed to release natural gas involves drilling deep into the ground and shooting a high pressure water solution into rock formations in order to release the gas inside. Although the history of fracking can be traced back to the 1940’s, it…

The Honorable Andrew M. Cuomo Governor of New York State NYS State Capitol Building Albany, NY 12224 September 30 2015 Dear Mr. Cuomo, I know that you have been bombarded time and time again about whether or not to allow hydro fracking in the Marcellus shale in the state of New York. Although a member on the board of a company with hydrofracking skills, I am split with the idea of hydro fracking. Both sides’ present solidifying arguments and I clearly understand the advantages and…

Fracking As shale and fracking is increasing, the International Energy Agency projects that the United States could become the world’s leading oil producer by 2015 (WhatIsFracking.com). Fracking or hydraulic fracturing is the process of drilling down into the earth. A high-pressure water mixture is directed at the rock to release the gas inside. Soon, water, sand and chemicals are injected into the rock at a high pressure, which allows the gas to flow out to the head of the well (BBC.com).…

However, only recently fracking has become much more widespread. Only less than 2% of the well fractures have used the high-volume technology necessary to get gas from shale, almost all of these in the past ten years. This new approach is far riskier and bigger in volume than the conventional fracking of earlier. An average of 20 million liters of water are forced under pressure into each well, combined with large volumes of sand and other materials to help keep the fissures open, and 200,000…

district. One newspaper wrote, “the buildings destroyed were of frame and consisted of hotels, restaurants and stores covering six blocks.” Due to the flammable nature of petroleum and the fact that the buildings were wooden, they were only partially covered by insurance. This caused the owners to endure huge losses. These owners relied on their neighbors to assist them in times of need. For instance, one man had to have help in attaining a new building for his store. The community rallied…

begin to reflect on my educational road, and what I have accomplish, and learned. I have taken many classes where it teaches me about law, the Criminal justice system, how the court works, and the process. Being fortunate enough to learn all this at Everest College, where I did obtain my AA degree in Criminal Justice. The feedback that I was giving at this college will prepare me for law school or for my investigation job at Wells Fargo Bank. In the college I was giving the feedback that law was…

of them are human errors and in the end the benefits of fracking outweigh the risks. If done professionally, fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, is beneficial to society because it provides towns, states, and countries with the natural gas they need, and reduces costs by using old oil and gas wells. Fracking is the process of extracting natural gas from in between layers of bedrock below the surface of the earth. The process involves sending large amounts of water and sand, along with small…

Trucks bring large amount of water and chemicals. Per frack, “a well site may need up to 2000 tanker truck trips,”(Hoffman 1). Each well as stated before can be fracked up to 20 times. So for each well, 40,000 tanker truck trips are made. This is not only contributing to the waste of oil, it 's contributing to air pollution as well. A study that was done found that 30,000-pound single axle trucks cause more damage than about, “‘...900 times and 7,500 times more damage than a 3,000-pound single…
