The topic of fracking is largely debated over because of its consequences. This quote provides the most concerning effects of fracking. The counterargument, however, provides the information that yes fracking may have a negative effect, but so do other energies.

These quotes are important to the science of oil in America. There are many critics of oil, but most do not know why there is opposition to oil. These quotes give examples of why scientists find oil bad. The counterargument quote shows why other scientists disagree with oil being a bad resource.

"A side-effect of that combustion process is the creation of carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide, both of which have an ill-effect on human health. In a high enough dose, these two substances can even be life-threatening."

"When oil hits the environment, it can pollute water resources, crop lands, and the environment in other ways. That is in addition to the emissions that oil energy creates when it is consumed."

"The arguments in favor of microalgae are their rapid growth rates (they can double in mass in less than a day), projected high yields, and putative high oil (triglyceride) content. Additional factors cited in microalgae's favor are their ability to grow in seawater, brackish water, or wastewater, which allows them to avoid competition for water with food crops, and their ability to use carbon dioxide (CO2) from power-plant stack gases.

BACKGROUND: Petroleum is a mixture of hydrocarbons that can occur in liquid, gaseous, or solid form and is most often found in liquid form (crude oil). The beginning of its use can be dated back to more than 5,000 years ago to the ancient Sumerians, Assyrians, and Babylonians.
