Natural Gases & Fracking

“California Takes Steps to Ban Fracking by 2024 and Will Halt Oil Extraction by 2045.” The Guardian, Guardian News and Media, 23 Apr. 2021, www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/apr/23/california-fracking-ban-oil-extraction. 

California, one of the higher end states in terms of consumption of electricity and gas, has finally decided to put laws down to control the amount of fracking set for 2024. Taking steps such as banning high end computers that consume high energy, and by now taking actions to set strict permits on fracking will benefit the environment and climate change because the reduction in gas production can lower the global warming issue and can give habitats towards animals in need of one once the environment is better.

Im in favor of cutting the production rate of gasses because this way the world can remain in a healthy state and less habitats will be lost. Because mining for gasses and fracking is harmful towards our world, Im excited to see the world take a step forward in attempts to help the environment. The only issue I can currently see is the change of gas prices. Many people of california will be angered on the price of gas increasing exponentially.

  1. It is really hopeful to know that there are people planning ahead. I agree with your statement that this will keep our world in a healthy state which will benefit us and other habitats and species.

  2. I think that the idea that if we preserve our planet our overall health of species and habitats will increase, and a reduction of fracking will only do good. How do you propose we take economic steps for jobs lost?
