Fracking 2/4/13

I would not want someone to start fracking around my house. It would could cause my water to be contaminated and I would not be able to drink it or do anything with water. There is also the question of what if the fracking goes wrong and creates spills which could potentially kill wildlife. Just because the fact that fracking can create jobs is not a good enough reason to take away the use of other peoples' water. In fact it does decrease dependence on foreign oil, it does not stop the problem that we can't use the natural gases to create gasoline, so we need that foreign oil.

Jetty

Jetty- A stretch of land, or riverbank, made to protect the harbor. It is made out of coastline. They usually are built in pairs at the end of a river channel. They are made for directing currents and keeping the water in between the two jetties, deep. Some negative side effects that could be caused due to jetties are impermeable groynes. This means that sand on the side that the long shore drift is coming at, will cause the sand to build up against it in a triangular formation. This effect will continually happen.
