Few environmental issues have received more media attention than fracking (hydraulic fracturing) for oil and gas development in shales and other unconventional resources. This chapter provides an objective overview of the potential impacts on groundwater and the need for better groundwater monitoring to resolve some of the uncertainties.

, 2013 Der weltweite Energieverbrauch ist in den letzten Jahrzehnten kräftig gestiegen und es ist davon auszugehen, dass sich dieser Prozess in den nächsten Jahren fortsetzen wird. Dabei kommt das starke Nachfragewachstum besonders aus den Schwellenländern, die für ihre stark wachsenden Volkswirtschaften große Mengen an Energie benötigen.

Environmental injustice: Fracking
Public Health Nursing, 2021AbstractIndividuals have rights not only to health care but also to a safe environment including clean water sources and ambient air. These rights should be protected regardless of demographic variables. Unfortunately, there are injustices that infringe upon these human rights including the hydraulic fracturing of shale rock or “fracking.” Fracking is ...

, 2014 This paper estimates the effect of the shale oil and gas boom in the United States on local economic outcomes. The main source of exogenous variation to be explored is the location of previously unexplored shale deposits. These have become technologically recoverable through the use of hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling.

The article discusses hydraulic fracturing, also known as fracking, a method used to harvest natural gas from shale layers, and examines the possibility that fracking can pollute drinking water. Horizontal fracking, which is done using large amounts of water and chemicals, is being researched by scientists and engineers such as Anthony Ingraffea as a ...

Abstract Presenting the book’s second empirical case study, this chapter examines resistance to fracking in Canada’s Yukon territory, considering the transnational political economy dynamics of local energy negotiations. By tracing local responses to fracking, the chapter reveals the ways in which finance, ownership, and trade provoke ...
