According to Green 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. Another pro‚ is that air toxicity is reduced. In fracking‚ the water and other chemicals are injected down into the ground in cracks in the rock and it then enlarges the crack‚ allowing more gas or oil to be released thus not contaminating the

Fracking Solve the Global Energy Crisis? Hydraulic fracturing or better known as fracking is a very contentious and cost-saving procedure in which fossil fuels are extracted from the earths crust. Instead of conventional oil drilling‚ it is used to exploit any possible sources of oil and natural gas‚ beyond the major known well sites. It was introduced in the 1940s and since then the practice has become increasingly controversial regarding its environmental impact. The pros and cons of this procedure are

“Fracking” Hydraulic fracturing‚ also known as fracking‚ is the process of injecting a combination of sand‚ water‚ and chemicals with very high pressure into deep rock formations such as coal beds‚ shale‚ and tight sandstone to break up the rocks and release natural gas‚ an affordable energy source that helps to meet the continuously growing need of the world for power. This procedure has been being performed for decades ultimately causing some controversy about the benefits vs. the dangers
