With the help of researchers at AirWaterGas and UCAR, we dive into controversial waters to answer the question: Is Fracking Dangerous?
Natural gas has lower emissions than other fossil fuels, and so it is often touted as a “bridge fuel” to ease our country’s transition from big polluters like coal and oil to a cleaner, greener, low-carbon energy future. But methane leaks as a result of natural gas production may put that clean gas bridge in doubt.
You asked? We answered! Lisa Gardiner of the UCAR Center for Science Education and AirWaterGas helped us answer an audience question: What happens to all the water that comes up after a well is hydraulically fractured?
