With the discovery of vast new North American energy resources - thanks to the application of proven technologies like hydraulic fracturing and commonsense regulatory processes on non-federal lands - the U.S. government should no longer be in the business of spending taxpayer dollars on risky, exotic energy projects.

There's a preponderance of scientists and engineers among China's rulers. New President Xi Jinping was trained as a chemical engineer. His predecessor, Hu Jintao, earned a degree in hydraulic engineering. His predecessor, Jiang Zemin, held a degree in electrical engineering.

Hydraulic fracturing requires massive amounts of water. Disposing of the toxic wastewater, as well as accidental spills, can contaminate drinking water and harm human health.

Canadian Scientist

It is very sad for a man to make himself servant to a single thing; his manhood all taken out of him by the hydraulic pressure of excessive business.

If you build a robot, you're welding, machining sculpting, casting, dealing with electronics and hydraulics.

Hydraulic fracking is very much a necessary part of the future of natural gas.

Often used in contexts dealing with machinery or vehicles.

Mechanical Context

'Hydraulic' implies liquid pressure usage in confined areas.

Tight Spaces

Hydraulic systems can create strong movement or force.

High Power

Hydraulic studies involve complex math and physics.

Complex Calculations

Hydraulics are used in environment and water management.

Environment Impact

It's a specialized field in engineering and technology.

Academic Discipline

Hydraulics are crucial in understanding natural water movements.

Natural Processes

Knowledge of hydraulics helps explain soil and rock erosion.

Erosion Understanding

Hydraulics are applied in controlling and distributing water.

Water Management

 Deep underground lies stores of once inaccessible natural gas. This gas was likely formed over millions of years as layers of decaying organisms were exposed to intense heat and pressure under the Earth's crust. There's a technology called hydraulic fracturing, or fracking,

 If your high-pressure hose pipe or hydraulic line bulges a little, you just wrap some tape around it, it really is that simple. In concept, though not in execution. The great advantage of an external support, for me, was that I could retain all of my own bits,
