Grant Interview

The article that Daniel Simmons talked in was for fracking and how its a art that has been practiced for many of years. Also, how in one year we increased our access to natural gas in the US by 66%. Daniel states that the accusations about fracking and contaminating ground water are not false but have not been proven scientifically just environmental activists trying to show bad things in something good for the country. Simmons says that fracking has a bright future because of the new technology coming around and the fact that we were the largest producer of natural gas. This interview provided good information about the upside of fracking.

Interview

In the interview with Ted Gish we learned a lot more information about fracking.  We learned how the process of fracking is done, and what is put in the mixture for the water shot down. The process begins with a well tower being built and then have a hot water mixture mixed with organic chemicals that are known to be harmful. With this process being done, Ted believes that the ground water table will eventually be damaged because of the chemicals being pumped in and that isn't properly extracted. This interview was very informational because it provide a lot of unknown fact about fracking and as a professor he made a prediction for the future.
