It was interesting to learn more about hydrofracking last week. Before the presentation, I was not even sure what hydrofracking was. I learned that in hydrofracking they drill horizontally as well as vertically. They can use multiple wells at each site. Each well uses 5 millions gallons of water and 100,000 pounds of chemicals. I thought it was interesting that the people involved in hydrofracking state that the chemicals are only .5%. It is much scarier to think of it being 100,000 pounds! While I think it is important to hear about the dangers of hydrofracking I would like to learn more about the benefits as well.
