Although there have been found sites where biological methane is present in wells such as several regions in Pennsylvania and New York. That was why companies held their ground saying fracking has no connections with methane in surrounding water aquifers. That all changed after scientists discovered that the methane in water wells near natural gas wells was old and therefore, the cause of Hydraulic Fracturing. (Biello, 2011) New York is one of the states…

needs water to live and grow. Unfortunately the ocean contains more than 97 percent of all the water on Earth which is undrinkable due to the high levels of salt. With the Earth’s population increasing the level of pollution in the water is raised as well, and if people do not start taking care of the little fresh water that we have then the water will not continue to support the entire human race. One example of companies not caring enough about the environment was the huge BP oil spill in…

The Nobbys lighthouse designed by Alexander Dawson was first lit in 1858 because of the prominent position at the entrance of the port and the crucial use of navigation. Nobbys light is also the third lighthouse constructed in NSW after the Macquarie light in 1818 and in the same year with the Hornby lighthouse. Before the establishment of the present lighthouse (1854), the first beacon was lit on this area (Signal Hill) in 1804 with a range of merely 7 kilometres. Later in 1821, an oil burning…

This “area” is now Midland. An Ohio real estate firm bought land at Midland and founded Midland Town Company. They started to promote the town across the Midwest and they drilled three water wells. In January 1886 the city’s first school opened, and newspaper, the Midland Gazette, was advertising Midland as “the Queen City of the South Plains.” In 1890 the population grew to 600 and The First National Bank of Midland was chartered. By that time…

Fracking has been a controversial topic for many years now and continues to be questioned. There are debates about the definition of fracking and whether the term refers to the entire industrial process or just the underground water blast that fractures the rock after the drilling is finished. One of the concerns about fracking are the flow back water containing a cocktail of chemicals used for many beneficial purposes but often contains radioactive materials and salts from the underground…

There are many different ways to refine the crude oil to get to the end product. Crude oil is basically fossil fuel that has been formed from dead animals and plants from millions of years ago. Engineers go through a process of locating where oil may be by using sonar. When they believe they have found an area that has this fossil fuel, they begin by drilling a hole and then pump the crude oil out to either a barge or into a pipe that goes directly to land. Once the crude oil makes it to the…

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…
