Fracking Criticism

Recently, the Guatemalan president Jimmy Morales tried to remove a United Nations backed commissioner when they tried to investigate possible corruptions in his campaign. When repercussions were evident, the Guatemalan government actually voted to shield Morales from the consequences of his actions. Though most people may think of national level events (country A in conflict with country B over something) when speaking about sovereignty, it also plays a role at the domestic level too. The issue of the niqab law in Quebec during the past October, for instance, is a recent example.

Lajeunesse decides to use a quote from North Dakota Highway Patrol Lt. Tom Iverson, quoting that “the protesters taken into custody were among a group of several dozen people who began taunting officers.” This quote gives a very negative perception of the protesters as criminals. Lajeunesse also decides provide information that further skew the perception of the protesters as criminals by going into detail about what items where left behind saying, “Teepees and yurts, thousands of sheets of plywood and tents, kerosene and propane stoves, diesel and gasoline generators, food, clothing, cars and mountains of human waste lie in what was once a pristine floodplain” Berman decides to instead use a quote from the Standing Rock Siuox tribe, quoting that “it was closely monitoring law enforcement activity at the camp and called on ‘everyone to remain peaceful.’” Using the Standing Rock Siuox tribe quote instead gives the reader idea that the arrests were

People complain about pollution from factories, cars, global warming, and the melting of polar ice caps, yet many people disregard the dangerous that come with fracking. Fracking is the process of injecting liquid at high pressure into subterranean rocks, and/or boreholes to force open existing fissures and extract oil or gas. Fracking is causing an epidemic economically and environmentally. Fracking is continuously destroying the earth day by day. From the endless fracking today’s economy is depleting.

The officers that are working the protest have their hands full trying to keep these obligations. They are making arrests of protesters for reasons including criminal trespassing, criminal mischief, spray-painting on construction equipment, and destruction of property. Some of the major controversy surrounding the protests are if the officers are doing their job justifiably. One major discussion is the use of K-9 attack dogs in the field during protests. Many of the protesters went to the hospital to be treated for bite marks that they sustained from the dogs.

They were not getting a say in government issues kicked off of their “promised” land that the United States government said they “could” have. The U.S. made this temporary and that is what caused the protests in the documents and other ones throughout history. Today, they are hurt by it. For example, the area around Standing Rock Sioux Reservation in North Dakota became famous in the recent headline. They were protesting the oil pipeline that would carry gallons of American oil from North Dakota to Illinois.

Some individuals believe that using the wilderness for drilling of oil purposes will solve the US and its dependency on foreign oil. Through this article, Democratic congressman Edward J. Markey, alongside Representative Nancy Johnson, discuss the reasons for which they want to save the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, or the ANWR, and other wilderness reserves from being developed on and industrialized. This wildlife reserve has been labeled as being one of the most magnificent reserves found in America. Unfortunately, people want to encroach on this territory and use it to increase the nation’s oil and gas development. This is not the first time that the reserve has been threatened but it is the most extreme.

For the first time, Canada had taken a decision independently without the approval of Britain. Prime Minister Mackenzie King believed that the treaty should not concern Britain as it was a decision between Canada and U.S, not England.

In the early 2000s, controversy from rap music happened again. Eminem made his return to the rap game with his new album titled “The Marshall Mathers LP,” and one particular song on the album sparked a lot of controversy that song is “Kill You.” A line from the song reads: "S***, you think I won 't choke no w****/till the vocal cords don 't work in her throat no more?" This song blew up; most people were now against Eminem because he promoted violence against women. In October of 2000, Eminem went to perform at Toronto’s Sky Dome, where he was stopped at Canada’s border.

Until, Mayor Leroy Satrom made a request to Governor James Rhodes for National Guard troops to quell the protesters. Subsequently, the crowd remained determined and began to confront the guardsmen, leading the situation to spiral out of control. In response, the guardsmen began firing shots at the crowd, shortly after noon on Monday, May 4, killing four and wounding nine (Kent state

Some social justice efforts by college students have reached the point in which they have become a nuisance to the public eye. The University of California Berkeley had a social justice protest on December of 2014. This protest spanned over many days and consisted of over a thousand students fighting for the “Black Lives Matter” movement. The protestors managed to cause havoc in the Berkeley area by blocking the Interstate 80 highway; this prevented the public from commuting on the highway from both directions. Social justice warriors even smashed windows and stole from a local Radio Shack while fighting for their cause; trash cans were set on fire in the process as well.

Fracking, also known as hydraulic fracturing is the way of breaking dense rocks in the ground to create a fracture network to make crude oil and natural gas flow in a wellbore to bring on the surface. The process of fracking is complex. Workers have to inject fluids like water, sand, and other chemicals into the ground. Fracking is a good way to get resources but ultimately bad for human health and the environment. There are different types of pollutants that bould be released, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), particulate matter, and methane.

The technological advance of oil and natural gas extraction has advanced greatly in the last few decades. The method of propelling sand, chemicals, and water beneath the surface of the Earth in Shale rocks is known as hydraulic fracturing or fracking (Occupy Theory, 2014); while effective at extracting oil and natural gas, fracking remains a controversial method. Many factors such as water consumption and reduction of surface toxicity play major roles in the debate about the expansion of the fracking industry. With the high price of oil, new technologies were necessary for supply the energy demands and decrease prices. Fracking allows companies to access more oil and gas because they are able to horizontally drill through rocks thereby obtaining more product.

Fracking is not a new think it was invent seventy years ago in 1947(“ Thanks To Fracking, Earthquake Hazards In Parts Of Oklahoma Now Comparable To”).For most of those years it has been loosely regulated because people were further worried about what was happening with the coal industry. The fracking fluid starts in a tank then it moves through a pipe into a sand truck. Then the mixture is moved into the blending truck.

Hydraulic Fracking is to retrieve the natural gas. I’m against it because, the higher property values, increasing the taxes. People worry about higher rents and the massive change in the landscape. Starting with efforts during the 1990s to fracture the Barnett Shale in Texas. Shale fracking has crept across the country.
