It is clear that there are lots of people who do not favor fracking because of the serious problems that are often associated with the process. There are indications that the benefits of fracking are not enough to outweigh the disadvantages that come from gas and oil drilling but it is sad to know that amidst the protests, oil and gas drilling companies remain to be in operation. There are certain laws that cannot be applied for those who are in the gas and oil industries which only worsen the situation. Among the most essential legal standards for public resources that exempt gas and oil drilling companies are as follows: • Safe Water Drinking Act • Resource Conservation and Recovery Act • Clean Air Act The exemptions can lead to serious problems that will require the attention of a fracking lawyer because these can only mean that the law cannot impose sanctions on oil and gas drilling operators even when violations are already imminent. Water contamination, environmental problems, and air pollution are serious worries that should alarm the authorities but as long as these exemptions are in place, people can expect that fracking accident will remain and the worst is yet to come. Further evaluation should be made by legislators to be able to make use of a stronger arm that will hold operators liable. There are other alternative energy sources and definitely, the safety of the people and the protection of the environment should not be compromised just to benefit a few.
