Presentation transcript:

The Fracturing Responsibility and Awareness of Chemicals (FRAC) Act proposes to include hydraulic fracturing as an activity regulated under the Safe Drinking Water Act. This law would require the industry to disclose all chemicals used in fracking. Do you think this law is fair and justified? Why might the gas drilling companies oppose this law? Explain your answer. 1

The last 20 minutes. 2 John Hanger, Secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection describes the natural gas drilling and extraction as a “trade- off”. Explain what the trade-off is. Do you believe this is a good trade? Natural gas is often described as a “transition fuel” and a cleaner- burning fossil fuel. Given what you learned from this movie, is natural gas a fuel that we should explore and extract more of? Argue for and against fracking for natural gas.
