In Crucial Pennsylvania, Democrats Worry a Fracking Ban Could Sink Them

John Fetterman, a lieutenant governor in Pennsylvania, thinks that extracting and taxing natural gas is essential for the economy of Pennsylvania.  He says there would be hundred of thousands of jobs on the line if fracking is banned. Fetterman says that putting a ban on fracking could hurt the candidates who are running for president, as fracking could become a new controversial issue in the election. Only 39% of Pennsylvania "swing" voters believe the ban on fracking would be a good idea.

    I agree that extracting and taxing natural gas is essential for the economy in Pennsylvania. Although fracking can be very harmful, the amount of jobs lost if it were to be banned would be even more harmful. If a politician wanted the support of the people they would not ban fracking because the majority of people in PA still believe that banning fracking is a bad idea.

Dual-fuel vehicles

A recent study shows that dual- fuel vehicles are benefiting the population but, turns out they are costing the environment. While substituting gasoline for ethanol gases, it causes an increase of ultra fine particle matter, with a 30% increase of atmospheric concentration. The problem is that they are less then 50 nanometers in diameter. The nano particles are also not track or regulated by the environmental agencies. We inhale these gases everyday, inhaling ethanol. The most practical way to reduce greenhouse gases is using electric, hybrid and biofuel care.   https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828124546.htm

Acid Zone in Chesapeake Bay Found

     According to the University of Delaware, the Chesapeake Bay is becoming acidic as it has gone to 7.4 pH from an average of 8.2. The oxidation of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide may be the factor that is leading to the higher acidity levels in coastal oceans, but it can eventually lead to more of open oceans. Naturally the waters of the Chesapeake Bay have a regulatory system that holds back the increase of acidity levels in the area, and this works as the dissolving of living shells, non-living aragonite, and calcite minerals. Though nature has a path to keep the waters in the Chesapeake Bay, humans should take more care of our Earth as we have a role in polluting the water and rising the acidity levels in coastal oceans. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828093737.htm
