Hydraulic Fracturing: Factsheet | Ecology Action Centre
The most serious concerns with fracking are that:
•it involves large quantities of water;
•relies on toxic chemicals;
•involves clearing the land of trees and vegetation; and
•leaves toxins in the ground to interact with drinking water.
These impacts are done all in the name of an energy resource that is neither cheaper nor cleaner.
The Ecology Action Centre cares about our water, our land and our people. This document will provide an introduction to the technique, and concludes that it is a method not suitable for Nova Scotia.
