Hydro fracking for natural gas and other energy supplies is proving to be very hazardous. In Pennsylvania, the industry has a plant to ‘clean-up’ all the wastewater fracking generates. Even with the plant, the pollution being found is at high levels.
Read this piece to learn more about the research findings from Penn State U., on this process. Any area looking to allow fracking should be aware of the environmental problems it creates. Radioactive wastes from fracking? That’s a new one.

Key Takeaways:

• Fracking is a controversial practice that has received media attention. People want to keep tabs on Fracking activity in their local area.
• It is possible that Fracking contaminates rivers with pollution. Even lakes can be flooded with radioactive material that is harmful.
• A new study has focused on how Fracking pollutes water in areas. That may shed light on these problems that routinely affect local communities.

“the priority should instead be to promote cheap renewable energy, like wind and solar”
