Environmental Protection Agency estimated that 70 to 140 billion gallons of water are used to fracture 35,000 wells in the United States each year. This is approximately the annual water consumption of 40 to 80 cities each with a population of 50,000. Fracture treatments incoalbed methane wells use from 50,000 to 350,000 gallons of water per well, while deeper horizontal shale wells can use anywhere from 2 to 10 million gallons of water to fracture a single well. The extraction of so much water for fracking has raised concerns about the ecological impacts to aquatic resources, as well asdewatering of drinking water aquifers. It has been estimated that the transportation of a million gallons of water (fresh or waste water) requires 200 truck trips.

According to a 2008 report by the EPA, the US generated 250 million tons of trash, averaging 4.5 pounds per person per day. This is an increase from the 88 million tons, or 2.7 pounds per person that was recorded in 1960. However, over that same time period there was an even greater increase in the amount of that waste that was recycled. Moving from a meager 5.5% of waste recycled in 1960, the US has increased to over 33% of total waste recycled in 2008 (Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in the United States: Facts and Figures, 2008). Discounting the amount of waste that is recycled still leaves a difference of more than double in the waste creation between the years, but the exponential growth in the recycling amount provides information into a changing attitude.
The prediction of energy consumption according to the American Energy Information Administration or EIA as of 2003 shows that worldwide use of energy in 2003 was 421 quadrillion British thermal units (BTU’s). Fast forward to 2015, and the prediction increases to an astounding 510 quadrillion British thermal units. By 2030 the projection shows worldwide energy use to hit 722 quadrillion British thermal units. The yearly increases of two percent will double consumption by 2030.
