A: List major ideas Fracking fluid goes up and goes to the water table 85% state potion of the Marcellus and Utica Shale formation New York is allowed bc they unfiltered between source and citizen two to four million gallons of water for a single lateral, as well as 15,000 to 60,000 gallons of chemicals; multiply those quantities by the number of wells drilled at one site horizontal drilling, she says, is that because of the depths of the gas and the combination of fracking and directional drilling, instead of 80,000 gallons of water it is now millions of gallons per fracking operation, with the big increase in chemicals that go along with it.

B: Summarize the Authors main point in 1-2 paragraphs Fracking is getting natural gas from the rocks (shale). There are negative about doing this process because it uses a lot of water and on top of it uses unknown chemicals to use because it there secret formula. And fracking it allow the fracking fliud and the oil to got to the water table and contaminating the waters. Then it affects our water that we drink. The regulator dont want to find a solution, but expand more on fracking C: Write a reaction paragraph to the article stating your own thought on the topic, using specific citation from the article to support your view. I think this is really ad because we have different types of energy, we dont have to take the resources that would affect our water system. Water is a resource that we need to live on and it is easier for us to pollute the water than getting the water back to simply water. It doesnt just affect the water afterwards, but also at the beginning. In the beginning it uses millions of water to do fracking. And we could use that water for the poor who needs it. We should not let big oil companies to do fracking because it affect the whole community because they wont have any water
