The oil and gas industries of BP, Exxon, and fracking all continue to face risks in supplying energy. BP risks damage to its image from past oil spills and refinery explosions that killed employees. Exxon risks criticism for prioritizing profits over environmental protection in incidents like the Exxon Valdez spill. The fracking industry risks harming water and air quality near drilling sites through chemical and methane releases, and faces concerns over potential health issues and home value declines for nearby residents. All three industries must address environmental and safety issues to maintain operations and public trust.
