The Shale Gas Revolution: Theoretical Analysis

112 Words1 Page

The Shale gas revolution is an open issue with facts and figures accessible to any interested researcher; hence, this analysis is free from moral and ethical irresponsibilities. Gallagher (2009) defines Research ethics as concerned with the standards of right and conduct, which reflect different paradigms and methodological practices within a particular context (Trussell, 2008). The advantage of using secondary data is, it enables researchers from all walks of life to work together over a period, discipline and geology which an essential part of the culture of collaborative inquiry. The data used was found in the public domain, again no human participation was required and, therefore, no confidentiality code needed to gather data.

    In Flower Mound, Texas, residents called upon the state to investigate an alarming spike in the number of children with leukemia, a form of cancer which affects white blood cell production in the body and compromises one’s immune system. In half a dozen Texas counties in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, there were higher rates of invasive breast cancer than anywhere else in the state (Rawlins). Some residents and researchers alike attribute this startling health trend to the natural gas industry and its overwhelming presence in the Lone Star state. In fact, Texas ranks number one in natural gas production nationally, and accounted for nearly thirty percent of all of the US’ natural gas production in 2011 (Davis). Natural gas fracturing or “fracking”

    If you want to make sure the scientists aren’t causing any problems, you take away all their funding”. Duck was not alone in his concerns, scientists who became outspoken on the environmental impacts of the Alberta oil sands, were often criticized by federal government for publicly sharing their findings. For example, when David Schindler was a professor of ecology at the University of Alberta, his research team found that the resource project was contaminating the Athabasca watershed, and some fish were developing deformities. When he published this in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Schindler was criticized by federal government. “It’s like they don’t want to hear about science anymore,” Schindler stated.

    From watching this documentary, I believe that there should be another way to make natural gas that does not harm people. I find it awful that companies have found a way around the government to create these policies that permit them to run a business that no one knows what the effects of it are. During the documentary, I neglected to realize that there was a lot of propaganda present in the film and seeing this side made me very interested in seeing FrackNation so that I could make an informed opinion about how I feel about fracking in our

    After the process of fracking was “perfected” all gas companies hoping to stay competitive and make a profit were forced to move away from flaring. Unfortunately, trading an extreme profit margin for an increase in environmental awareness is nearly unheard of in the corporate world. To stop pulling the lever, when its repercussions will never be seen by the gas company, would show a complete lack of any of business sense. It also shows a complete lack of compassion. The benefits of fracking are short-term and the consequences long term.
