Extraction of Natural Gas


	Extraction of Natural Gas
	Advantages Cleaner than oil (30%) and coal (45%) Fracking - gives viable supply when coal runs out Generates thousands of jobs Easy to export Doesn't require much work - oil needs to be refined	Disadvantages Less focus on renewables' research Fracking requires huge amounts of water - water $ increases Creates huge pressures to access gas - earthquakes Workers exposed to hundreds of toxins and materials (>600 carcinogens)
	Evaluation SHORT TERM - good energy supply but in the LONG TERM - have to look at other options - is still a fossil fuel that contributes to GW
