Hydraulic fracturing is a process which releases natural gas from shale and brings it to the worlds surface. It requires injecting more than a million gallons of chemicals such as lead, uranium, methanol, and mercury. Fracking also needs sand and water. The amount of water that is used is one to eight million gallons per job. It takes 400 tanker trucks to carry water too and from the sites. The chemicals, sand, and water are then put down a horizontally drilled well at a high pressure. The…
