EPA: Natural Gas Fracking Linked to Water Contamination Synthesis

                        The topic of fracking seems to be very controversial to me. It is known that fracking causes pollution to the air and to the ground water. There was no reason that the companies had to use the process. All that they were caring about was themselves, they did not care about anyone else or the environment. It also seemed that they blatantly lied to the EPA. They were even supplying water to residence that had contaminated wells. It was very obvious to see that the companies only cared about themselves and the money they made.

            It also seemed that the EPA was doing a poor job and there is some underground information that they are not releasing.  If they were able to tell that there were problems in the 1990’s why is this an issue today?  Why is the company still drilling?  This article was written in 2011 so that was nearly twenty years going by without the water being cleaned or the investigation being finish.  It was also poor for the EPA to be lied to so easily and to be accused of bias.  It seems that both the EPA and they drilling company only cared about their money.  It’s funny I thought the Environmental Protection Agency would want to help the environment more that it would want to make money. They are almost making their standards lower than what they make us abide by.

            People need to care more about the environment than about money. Making money is important but when it comes between money and people safety and the environment, peoples safety and the environment come first.  The downfall of America and the rest of the world will be caring too much about money and not what negative effects are from our actions.
