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…

In 1979, the Pacific Oil Company began its relationship with the Reliant Corporation, an association of immense consequence for both organizations. Lewicki chronicled this case in Lewicki, Saunders, and Barry (2010, pp. 582-609). Two multinational industrial giants, these companies had much to gain through a contract for the sale of vinyl chloride monomer from the Pacific Oil Company (or simply Pacific) to the Reliant Corporation (or simply Reliant). When representatives from the companies went…

individual’s behavior and identified two characteristics: limited rationality and opportunism. In the researcher’s findings, the fundamentality to examine a transaction’s nature and define an asset’s specificity (Williamson 1991: 282) is highlighted as well as the frequency of the particular transaction, the uncertainty and risk present in the atmosphere and the environment in which a transaction takes place (Williamson…

First and foremost, clearing of toxic waste will never be completely, absolutely, 100% eradicated. As with everything in life, there will always be room for error when disposing of waste.

In almost all cases, every step is made to prevent events such as oil, chemical, and waste spills. When those regulations are not fully…

has been used for a wide variety of purposes. The fracking process starts with a well that is drilled either vertically or at an angle to a surface depth of one to two miles, or more according to the EPA. Then the vertical well is encased in steel and/or cement to make sure the well doesn’t risk spilling into groundwater. When the upward well makes it to the layer of deep rock where oil or natural gas exists, the well is curved about 90 degrees and begins to drill horizontally along that rock…

These earthquakes are caused by the disruption of the rocks beneath the Earth’s surface. In Alejandro Fragoso’s article “The Fracking Process Is Now The Leading Cause Of Earthquakes In Texas”, he says “[S]cientists believe brine from injection wells may be able to flow into nearby faults and soften the friction holding the faults in place, making it easier for a fault to slip, release the stress that was already there, and cause an earthquake.” Earthquakes can also occur during the fracking…

Fracking and The Technologies of Humility and Hubris Over the past several years there has been an outcry from U.S. environmentalists regarding a process for extracting extremely large caches of oil and natural gas that, prior to this process, were unattainable. This process in called Hydraulic Fracturing, or Fracking for short and has strong support on both sides of the issue as to whether it is a safe practice or could cause irreversible damage to the environment. It is the intention of…
