Research finds that people who believe they are helping the environment may actually know less about energy conservation than the average person.
Drinking water wells are only 60 to 90 meters below the surface, while the Marcellus Shale is at depths of 1,200 to 2,500 meters. Still, new research suggests that, because of the hydrology of northeastern Pennsylvania, hydraulic fracturing poses a risk to these shallow drinking water resources.
The government is supposed to provide clean drinking water. But, in many cases, they aren’t and consumers are paying for it.
Being afraid of the dark is apparently justified.
Common terms have different meanings to scientists and the general public. Recognizing this simple fact will help bridge the gap in the climate science debate.
