is not worth the drawback. Most oil companies will obviously back up that fracking isn’t bad and that it has more benefits than drawbacks. Fracking might have tons of benefits but it’s not worth polluting the earth. There is also a lot of downfall fracking. One con fracking has is how much water it uses‚ each job uses 1 to 8 million gallons of water. One fracking job in Michigan used over 35 million gallons of water.Eventually freshwater sources will dry up as well as rivers and creeks. It’s crazy

Fracking has been a big deal lately. Fracking is a technique to get oil and gas out of the ground but it means they have to put a pipe in the ground then send water‚sand and many other chemicals through the pipe at high-pressure. From all the pressure it makes cracks in the ground bringing up gas and oil. Even if there’s many benefits from fracking there’s many disadvantages to. My claim on this problem is that we should stop the process of fracking. My opponents say Fracking should stay since it
