Environmental Ethics: Fracking

Fracking has become a severe problem, mostly in the north/southwest regions of the country, but recent news has been released that drilling industries will begin fracking along the east coast as well.  Many companies are unlikely to admit the water contamination is caused from fracking, therefore EPA is conducting research experiments in order to gather liable evidence.  Although our country is in need of natural resources, the need doesn't outweigh the safety and protection of the people.  Contaminated water is not the proper route to substantiate the need for natural resources.  Unfortunately, until further evidence is released, fracking will continue.  The fracking must come to a stop though in order to prevent sickness and health problems from the contaminated water.
