In
the peer reviewed article “Conflicting reports fuel fracking debate tied to
Wyoming town” discusses several people’s perspectives on fracking in the state
of Wyoming. In the article it
compared the EPA study to “the USGS
results from testing of one of two monitoring wells in the aquifer indicated
higher levels of gases like methane, lower levels of diesel-range organics and
the absence of such solvents as toluene, an EnCana analysis showed.” This showed that the EPA was trying to falsify
information so that it did not look that bad. One of the citizens of Wyoming interviewed
stated “I'm not a scientist. All this fighting over testing has been a
frustration to me. All I know is our quality of life has been taken away.” This man feels as if he is not safe in his
own environment called home. This is a disgrace.
In
the article we read it spoke of fracking and scientific information that was
collected. The article I chose gave a different perspective rather than
science. In the article in class it stated that the people needed to know what
was being put into the water. My article I found helps to broaden human’s
thoughts on fracking in general as well as scientific information.
