Abstract in brief
- Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, has made it economically feasible to extract natural gas from shale deposits worldwide, offering environmental benefits over coal but also posing health and environmental risks.
- Immediate health threats include air pollution from carcinogenic volatile organic compounds and toxins like hydrogen sulfide, as well as water contamination from chemicals used in fracking and radioactive materials in wastewater.
- Long-term concerns involve climate change due to methane emissions and increased seismic activity from tectonic disruption, highlighting the need to prioritize public health over economic gains from fracking.]

Most liked on X and Bluesky@cbcwatcher @timhodgsonmt The consumption of LNG is a smaller carbon footprint. But not everything can be measured by carbon footprint alone. The process of LNG extraction via fracking carries serious and well-documented environmental impacts. Just an example: https://t.co/ZwVxT1EnLr
