Investigating Sustainability McAdam 2013 | Page 25

the world . Even though it can capture abudences of gas , it also is deadly . Pensylvania has allowed hydrofracking . They have been sustaining energy from the Marcellus Shale . Other states are thinking about hydrofracking too . The big question though is : can it be sustainable and safe ?
My thoughts
I feel that this is a very controversial topic . I myself am having a hard time thinking that hydrofracking is the best alternative for developing a sustainable energy source . With all my research , I think hydrofracking is not safe enough for people and animals to be around . Even though it can sustain energy , I think it is too dangerous to humans and the environment .
Future
The future of hydrorfracking is unknown people may think that it is a terrible idea for peoples safety . Energy companies need to continue to provide data for people to see and learn about . They also need to keep making it safer and keep telling everyone that they are trying to make it as safe as possible . If people get honest information about hydrofracking , they can make decisions about whether it is a good idea or not . It is almost marketing . It all depends on how you try to appeal to people about how it ’ s a good idea .
Conclusion
Hydrofracking has revolutionized how we get natural gas as an energy source . The question is whether it is a sustainable energy source . Also , can it provide more good benefits and not harm more people or the environment ? Right now , I am not in favor of it , but if they make it safer in the future then it might be useful . But , I think we should focus on cleaner sources of energy for a better future .
