Fracking explained: opportunity or danger
Fracking explained in five minutes.
Fracking is a controversial topic. On the one side the gas drilling companies, on the other citizen opposed to this drilling method. Politicians are also divided on the matter.
We try to take a neutral look on fracking. It is relevant for all of us, because of high prices for energy and the danger for our drinking water.
This video focuses mostly on the debate currently ongoing in europe. In a lot of european countries there is a public outcry against fracking, espacially in germany. But the facts in this video are relevant to all of us.
Short videos, explaining things. For example Evolution, the Universe, Stock Market or controversial topics like Fracking. Because we love science.
We would love to interact more with you, our viewers to figure out what topics you want to see. If you have a suggestion for future videos or feedback, drop us a line! 🙂

This video skipped so many steps, it's like describing a pizza as being raw dough and then only a left over crust and nothing in between about preparing it, baking it, or delivering it. Bias everywhere, information less valuable than a simple wiki post.

Thanks Kurgesagt Team for the knowledge and the video, I am confuse in why the government want to do this plan, that's fracking or something like that, that'll be get the bad impact in the future, oke, we'll get the early impact in economy, but how about the environment and economy in the future? I think I'll be impact too, and Will be bad

It also makes induced quakes by pouring into local faults and making them slip more easily

This video is incomplete. No mention of rock strata instability after being fractured, particularly in earthquake prone regions.

Fracking is inert to the environment. They dont use chemicals, its simply water and sand. Dont be fooled

Complex environmental issues offer no solutions, only compromises. You have to decide what you are willing to give up in order to reach a balance of living a modern energy hungry society or reverting to hunter gatherers ?

absolutely not a fan of drilling so deep into our crusts, leave the earth alone.
