Fracking Regulations
Fracking is one of the topics where in
general most people do not know much about fracking or what it is. However
these same people almost are always strongly for or against the use of
fracking. The audience should have some knowledge about fracking. What exactly
fracking is, that is not relevant to the situation of my rhetorical analysis.
Since the issue is the amount of regulations on fracking, the only knowledge
the reader needs to know is that fracking is presumed to harmful to
environment, and is harmful to people’s health. There are also very few
regulations on fracking at all, in the state of Texas there is no difference in
laws between fracking and the use of a normal oil rig. According
to the Texas
Commission on Environmental Equality with standards determined from the
railroad commission. There is also a lot of trouble getting any regulations
passed. Some of George Bush’s officials where out with big oil companies, when
they were supposed to talk about possible regulations. Instead, the “investigation
also concluded that several of the officials “frequently consumed alcohol at
industry functions, had used cocaine and marijuana, and had sexual
relationships with oil and gas company representatives””(New York Times). The
purpose of this paper is to control the situation of fracking. The majority of
the people who feel strongly about fracking know that there are some negative
effects of fracking that are pretty serious.
The health risks of the use of fracking need to be controlled before
there can be genuine economic growth which everyone loves so much. There is
nothing wrong with the people who try to bring growth to the economy through
fracking. They are just creating a situation, which is starting to have very
negative side effects in the regions where fracking are done. There the people
who live in those regions are not even reaping the benefits of fracking. Often
the town does not grow in the positive way that they would hope. The crime
rates in those regions go up the people who work on the fracking unit itself do
not need the same recourses that the average people in the town use, so even
there the locals mostly see the negative effects of fracking. The oil companies
need to be able to control the situation. The oil companies need to make it to
where the locals are still healthy and are able to control their own employs.
But are not over regulated and the economic benefits are taken away. The
situation between making money and improving the economy needs to be controlled
and balanced between heath and environmental concerns.
