For years, people have been looking for alternate ways to get resources for us. Whether it hurts the world or not, they are hell bent on the pursuit of finding other resources. Fracking is one of these ways. Fracking is the process of drilling down into the earth to release the gas inside.

It would also enable the West to be less dependent on Russian natural gas, which Vladimir Putin currently uses as a political level.” This also means that the tension that other countries cause with us because of the necessity of natural gas would no longer be there. Fracking gives us the opportunity to have natural gas and not only that but it would give us the upper hand politically as we won’t be as obedient to them as they want us to be because they know we NEED them. Whether you like it or not, fracking is somewhat safe and I don’t say this as my opinion because it is proved and said by the gas industry. It wouldn’t be fair if I didn’t list the cons though. Source B also states “... Fracking involves pumping a concoction of water, sand and chemicals into the ground to break apart the bedrock, environmentalists and
