Fracking Controversy
Honestly fracking happens to be a very controversial issue happening in the United States lately. From the article "the spokesman, Doug Hock, denied that the company's actions were to blame for the pollution and suggested it was naturally caused." This just shows that the companies are only wanting to focus on making money and not peoples well being. This is inconsiderate being that humans are who mainly occupy this Earth. Fracking should be illegal or entrepreneurs that incorporate fracking should have specific rules and regulations necessary to follow. Yes, fracking is bad but if people are going to continue to participate in it, citizens should at least be aware of what harm could happen their bodies. I believe that this fracking issue about contaminating the water will continue to carry out until after my death ,but regardless the situation everyone has their own opinions.

Chelsi, I completely agree that if companies continue with fracking, people should know the harmful effects it has on the human body. I also agree that fracking should stop, and companies should focus more on the general public's well being over money, but that's probably not going to happen any time soon. The only thing I think we can hope for is maybe finding better ways for companies to do fracking that isn't as toxic to the environment and people in the area. Or even try to find a new energy solution that will outperform fracking and make it obsolete anyways. But I liked your post on the fracking issue. You had a lot of very good points.
