Dangers of Fracking!

Sing with me: Here a frack - there a frack - everywhere a frack frack. 

And we cry out because we have so many beautiful neshamos leaving this world from the carcinogens and toxins they so happily let into our drinking water, air we breath and food we eat. DON'T LEAVE THIS PAGE UNTIL YOU SEE THE SHORT VIDEOS BELOW!

SO WHAT IS IT? 
Hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking”, is the process of drilling and injecting fluid into the ground at a high pressure in order to fracture shale rocks to release natural gas inside.

TO THE SITE
Each gas well requires an average of 400 tanker trucks to carry water and supplies to and from the site.

HEAVY LOAD
It takes 1-8 million gallons of water to complete each fracturing job.

FRACTURING SITE
The water brought in is mixed with sand and chemicals to create fracking fluid. Approximately 40,000 gallons of chemicals are used per fracturing.

FRACKING FLUID

Up to 600 chemicals are used in fracking fluid, including known carcinogens and toxins such as…LEAD URANIUM MERCURY ETHYLENE GLYCOL RADIUM METHANOL HYDROCHLORIC ACID FORMALDEHYDE

In October 2009, the Canadian company Gastem, which has been drilling gas wells into the Ordivician Utica Shale in Quebec, drilled the first of its three state-permitted Utica Shale wells in New York. The first well drilled was in Otsego County.[69]  (<PLEASE CLICK AND READ THE FACTS!)

CONTAMINATION
During this process, methane gas and toxic chemicals leach out from the system and contaminate nearby groundwater.

Methane concentrations are 17x higher in drinking-water wells near fracturing sites than in normal wells.

DRINKING WATER
Contaminated well water is used for drinking water for nearby cities and towns.

There have been over 1,000 documented cases of water contamination next to areas of gas drilling as well as cases of sensory, respiratory, and neurological damage due to ingested contaminated water.

LEFT BEHIND
Only 30-50% of the fracturing fluid is recovered, the rest of the toxic fluid is left in the ground and is not biodegradable.

The waste fluid is left in open air pits to evaporate, releasing harmful VOC’s (volatile organic compounds) into the atmosphere, creating contaminated air, acid rain, and ground level ozone.

In the end, hydraulic fracking produces approximately 300,000 barrels of natural gas a day, but at the price of numerous environmental, safety, and health hazards.

DON'T FRACK MY BEER!
