Natural gas is often trapped in pockets deep within shale. Energy companies use a process called fracking to get to the more fulfilling pockets that are deeper within the earth’s crust. Fracking is a term coined from the fact that this drilling process fractures the shale and releases the gas for retrieval. Hydro meaning water Saints Ryan Ramczyk Jersey , explains the method a bit further. Millions of gallons of water, chemicals, as well as sand are inserted under pressurization causing the rock to give way and crack. The gas then finds its way back up the cracks or fractures to the surface where it is harvested for clean energy usage. This is a great process, and seemingly harmless.
This is not a new process. Hydrofracking has been around for many years. What has recently changed is the abundant use of this procedure. Because the sites of this drilling are getting closer to civilization, people in the surrounding areas are claiming that they are being subjected to contaminated water Saints Marcus Davenport Jersey , as the chemicals that are used leach into their underground water sources.
Smaller companies like Langley Energy are not part of a new EPA, (Environmental Protection Agency), investigation. The accusations are serious enough though that one has been instituted. The industry biggies like Key Energy Services, Halliburton and seven others are being targeted in this inquiry.
They have been instructed to turn over all information in regards to their chemical usage in this process. It would seem that if Hydrofracking is causing toxic water, than natural gas becomes not such a viable option for clean energy. If it harms the environment in any way Saints Drew Brees Jersey , it is not an exemplary clean energy source.
Halliburton, according to a report on November 9th, 2010 seems to be the only hold out so far. All other companies have complied. This is the same company that was involved in the scandal in the war in Iraq because of ties to the U.S. Vice-President Dick Cheney.
While it may not be the process that is causing problems, but the chemicals, it is imperative that the EPA be allowed to conduct their investigation and deliver their report which is due next year.
If our water is truly being contaminated by this procedure Saints Mark Ingram II Jersey , or the chemicals used in it something has to be changed regardless of the cost to the business.
One reported cited that citizens actually had flammable gases coming from the spigots at their homes after the Hydrofracking process began. We cannot live without water; We can however live without companies who have no regard for a clean environment.
Water is our lifeblood. Halliburton’s past scandal is not concrete proof of wrong doing, however if they have nothing to hide then why are they holding out to the point of having a subpoena issued to get the information that the investigative committee is seeking?
They need to understand that to change the world we have to do things differently. Taking consideration for the environment most be the foremost agenda of any business, but especially for one in the energy industry.

This is an area where about 97% of MBA applicants drop the ball. They simply do NOT know how to put a resume together.
Have you ever seen a TV commercial or read an ad in print? Of course you have.
Have you ever noticed how they can make the most mundane item sound like the greatest thing since sliced bread? That's called copywriting and, like it or not, that's what you have to be when writing up a resume.
Almost all MBA programs require a resume. But what most students don't understand is why.
See Saints Alvin Kamara Jersey , many think it's because the MBA program just wants to see what it is you've done. This is the fallacy of a resume. What the program wants to see is how you present what you've done.
Before, I have talked about saying "I'm a file clerk" or saying "I was responsible for the proper care of contracts and documents."
Do you see the difference?
Somebody who says, "I was a file clerk", like it or not, shows the people deciding your fate that you have no imagination: that you're about as sharp as a dull knife.
They want you to embellish your resume. They expect it. And they want to see who can do the best job of it. Those with the most creative minds Saints Marshon Lattimore Jersey , in their opinion, are the ones who will have the best chance of getting through their program.
In other don't lie.
Lying will catch up to you big time. Somewhere, somehow, that lie is going to come out and when it does, it's not going to be pretty and could even possibly cost you any chance of getting into that school.
Trust me on want that resume to be a piece of artwork and show you off in the best possible light.
Now Saints Cameron Jordan Jersey , a little about the people who will be looking at your MBA application paperwork...
We all want to think that when we apply for a college that the people doing the interviewing are some kind of automated robots. All we have to do is give them the right answers and we're in. In some cases, sad as this is to say, that's exactly what happens. Why do I say sad? Again, let's get back to the admissions people themselves.
As I said, they're not 're people. And as people Saints Michael Thomas Jersey , they have different personalities and different ways of doing their jobs. Some will go through it very methodically, not putting any real thought into it. Give them the "right" answers and you're if you're not a good fit for the school.
Some, however, will really put a lot of thought into the interview process and try to determine, in spite of your answers [url=http://www.teamsai
