The process of hydrofracturing (or hydrofracking for short) is an easy way to drill for natural gas near our reservoirs. It might not sound that bad, but believe me, it is.
Hydrofracturing uses a lot of toxic chemical acids. Sometimes while drilling, these end up in the reservoirs, and the water in the reservoirs is the water we drink. Drinking polluted water can result in severe health problems, and bathing in polluted water can result in your skin peeling off.
However, from an economic viewpoint, hydrofracturing is the best thing since the telephone! It's your decision as an individual, but if I were you I would not want to have to drink (and bathe in) toxic water.
Hydrofracturing is an affordable way to increase well production. It involves injecting high pressure and high volumes of water into the formation of bedrock to increase the size of existing fractures and to create new ones.
