In this century there is a new way of getting gases and oils out of the earth. This way is called Hydraulic Fracturing‚ Fracking‚ or a way to smash rocks to get gas and oil. There are some positives and negatives to Fracking. Here are some facts you should know. Fracking is a way to get natural gas and oil from deep inside the earth. This technique has been used since the 1940s but did not become popular until 2005. This method is used in the USA to be specific it is used in California‚ Florida

Fracking has been proven to be a lucrative business nearly accounting for more than half of the oil extraction in the US as stated by Source C. While fracking is a useful method of retrieving fossil fuels it can also prove to be detrimental to our everyday lives.

closed. Hydraulic fracking should be banned because of its contamination of groundwater supplies‚ risks to the health of public‚ increased seismic activity‚ increased atmospheric emissions and the ultimate issue of hurting the Earth.
