Fracking vs. Coal

Personally I feel that fracking is way worst then Coal. Both fracking and coal have their pros and cons, but fracking has to many cons.

"Coal is a small part of electricity and can easily be replaced with a cleaner source", said a worker. But you cant replace fracking.

Coal mining is a whole process just like fracking.

In coal mining, mountains get blowed up and all the dump blown goes down to the streams and the valleys were people live.

In fracking though, people are at a higher risk at dying.

People pay for their water not for contaminated water. "We cant drink money", what the people protesting wrote on their signs.

There have been 1,000 documented cases of water contamination, do we want more? I didn't think so.

Coal mining has gave many coal miners black lung disease and has killed many coal miners. Fracking hasn't killed many people, but they have affected our rivers, groundwater so basically our drinking water.

Fracking cannot be easily cleaned since there are many toxic chemicals. Coal mining, can be cleaned even though it will take time.

Flammable tap water in colorado? methane explosions in West Virginia? And poisoned water in Pennsylvania? thats what fracking can do.

In my opinion, I think fracking is worser then coal mining. They both have the same affects on our planet, but fracking has little bit more. People need to realize that their money is going to waste on paying for their water when its all being contaminated.
