Question

Develop a five-point plan for the U.S. Departments of Energy and the Interior and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for regulating the fracking of shale for natural gas and oil in America. Make sure that you take note of the currently plunging price of gasoline in the United States resulting from the great success of domestic fracking and the expanded production of oil and natural gas by other nations around the world in making your policy decisions. If you use outside sources of information to do this all sources must be documented. Each point must be clearly explained in detail.

Explanation / Answer

For regulating the fracking of shale for natural gas and oil in America,some point plan should be undertaken by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,Department of Energy and the Interior.

For having the great success in the Fracking of shale in U.S some measurable precautions and research should be taken.

1) Improving Scientific understanding of Hydraulic fracturing: Improving the Scientific research on improving methods for hydraulic fracturing to reduce some natural disasters and increasing efficiency,

2) Safe management of waste water from Hydraulic fracturing activities.: This can be managed by recycling the waste water that is released from the hydraulic fracturing.So that the pollution of water can be minimized and the toxic minerals can be minimized in the waste water and can be used again for the hydraulic fracturing.

3) Recycling of produced water: Produced water means the water that is generated during fracturing from the underground naturally.This water consists some toxic materials and can harm people by using water for drinking.So measures should be taken to avoid the toxic materials entering into the produced water.

4) Pollution resulting from the release of Volatile organic compounds

5) Research on potential risks caused by hydraulic fracturing.
