Hydraulic Fracturing: The Inefficient Fuel Source Accoring to Treehugger, hydraulic fracturing requires 80 to 300 tons of chemicals to frack a single oil well. Hydraulic fracturing is the process of extracting shale gas deposited in deep underground wells by injecting water, sand, and disclosed chemicals into the ground at high pressure (Weighing the Risks of Fracking). Fracking is a non-renewable energy source that is very harmful to the environment. Hydraulic fracturing should be discontinued because it harms the environment, it requires a plethora of water, and because it has been linked to causing earthquakes (Jordan Howard). The chemicals that are used in the fracking process aren’t disclosed to the public.

Pollution Prevention Melissa D. Byerley ENV 325: Environmental Management Instructor Robin Glenn June 10, 2013 There are a variety of ways to prevent pollution including altering production or manufacturing processes, eliminating waste at the source, promoting the use of non-toxic or less-toxic substances, implementing conservation techniques, reusing materials or items, and population control; which can all work simultaneously for a better world, but issues such as political processes and policies create a hindrance. The many ideas surrounding pollution prevention are quite often simple, but due to economic impacts, these options are not always favorable because worldwide governments want the most successful economy possible, and

If they control the money supply and take some out of circulation, then there will be less money to spend and ultimately products will be cheaper, but i feel as though the opposite has been happening forcing things like gas prices to continue to rise. All these members must be in agreement as to which direction they want to go regarding the policies of the country’s
