This week we have learned about how natural gas was made and what we use it for in our daily lives. We have also learned about a relatively new technique called horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing that is capable of accessing previously difficult to reach natural gas deposits in shale rock thousands of feet below the surface. Finally, we began to take a look at the risks and benefits of drilling for natural gas by hydrofracking in NY state.
Based on your understanding of the hydrofracking write down in your blog post whether or not you are for against drilling for natural gas in NY state.
Be sure to support your position with evidence and analysis (argue why your viewpoint/opinion is correct)
Also, explain why you disagree with the opposing viewpoint (argue why the other viewpoint/opinion is incorrect - this argument should also be supported by evidence and analysis).
