garage‚ there are many pros and cons of fracking. The pros are that if any shortages are reached in oil or gas‚ fracking can help solve the problem by going deeper into the ground and releasing more than what would normally be obtainable.

Source C touches open the emission of greenhouse gases. The release of such gases is harmful to our already deteriorating ozone layer. Other cons of fracking are explored in source B would be pollution associated with the process of fracking from the noise of fracking and the process itself. While fracking is detrimental to the earth‚ there are also some pros presented by the practice. Many of those advantages are centred around economic practices as the US has a large quantity of shale beneath its
