The alternative source for getting natural gas known as shale gas may be causing more problems than presumed. People from Dish, TX are receiving the faults in the system with the problems of sever air pollution emitting known human carcinogens. Also fracturing fluid contamination in water systems has led to death in livestock and potential risks for humans. This article does reveal bias towards shale drilling because the writer mostly talks about the bad effects of shale drilling and what it is doing to our environment. The writer is pro environmentalist because it is revealing all the information that negatively presents shale drilling.
