Green ArenasEpisode 5: Stop the Fracking!You may have heard of fracking but not paid much attention to its implications. Hydraulic fracturing, commonly known as fracking, is a controversial method of extracting oil and natural gas from deep underground rock formations. This process involves injecting a high-pressure fluid composed of water, sand, and chemicals to create fractures in the rock, thereby releasing trapped resources. On this episode, host Robert Carillio engages with guest Lynn Anderson from Frackfree Mahoning to explore the damaging impacts of fracking on parks and natural environments across the nation. Lynn, along with numerous environmental advocates, has actively engaged with...2025-04-3048 min

Heute haben wir eine spezielle Folge vorbereitet. Es soll sich alles um das Thema Öl Fracking handeln. Die Ölpreise sind aufgrund der Corona-Krise ziemlich eingebrochen und viele Öl Unternehmen stehen vor dem aus. Durch die zahlreichen Lockdowns ist die weltweite Nachfrage nach Öl stark gesunden und die Preise sind absolut in den Keller gegangen. Dieser Preisverfall ging an der Fracking Industrie nicht spurlos vorbei, da Öl Fracking in manchen Gebieten der Erde deutlich kostenintensiver ist. Aber dazu werden wir dir später mehr in unserem Podcast erzählen. 2020-08-1128 min

Investigative Journalists Justin Nobel and Joshua Pribanic come together in this explosive podcast* to discuss one of the hottest topics to come out of fossil fuels.
The idea of “safe” fracking transformed oil and gas in America for the 21st century and helped create a worldwide resurgence for an otherwise dying industry. But as we hear in this episode of newsCOUP a dangerous secret protected by regulators threatens the identity of fracking. That secret takes us down a rabbit hole from the beginning of time to the prese...2020-02-031h 08

Meanwhile, much of the world continues to rely heavily on coal as a source of energy.
Coal mining is more dangerous than fracking, and the burning of coal produces harmful emissions, including mercury and sulfur dioxide.

There are naturally-occurring fractures, but often rock formations are too impermeable to allow oil and gas to be extracted.
A fracking fluid is pumped into the formation, causing cracks to form.
The resulting fractures allow oil and gas to flow into the well.
Some people are worried that frac fluids could contaminate groundwater.
The danger is avoided when drill wells are properly cased as they penetrate aquifers to reach the rocks below.
The fractures are deeper than the aquifers, and the thick mass of...2014-02-1201 min

EHP: The Researcher's PerspectiveManaging Wastewater from Fracking, with Robert B. JacksonHydraulic fracturing ("fracking") is a controversial practice used in natural-gas drilling. Fracking makes it much more feasible to free the vast reserves of natural gas locked underground, but the practice comes with concerns that the natural gas boom is proceeding too fast, before we understand the human health impacts.
