I am getting ready to do several articles about alternative energy sources. I am going to start with an article about fracking, the practice of fracturing mainly shale stone deep underground in order to facilitate natural gas extraction. My ex-daughter-in-law also writes content online and was asked to write a positve artcle about the subject. She began to research for the article and had to turn it down because she had trouble finding anything positive to say about it. She turned down the job offer.
Fracking has caused the price of natural gas in America to plummet. The United States sits on massive stores of natural gas, much of it easily accessed by fracking. The current practice of fracking has caused serious environmental problems in some areas. I suspect that improvements in the techniques used or new approaches to fracking could eliminate or minmize most of the hazards. Areas in which fracking can produce earthquakes may never be useful. The best solution is to develop those energy sources that do not require net production of carbon-dioxide.
More tomorrow.
