Drilling companies suggest trillions of cubic feet of shale gas may be recoverable from underneath parts of the UK through a process known as "fracking". Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is a technique...
The fracking controversy
I read many articles to learn about fracking and how it damages the environment. It’s a controversial topic. On one hand it has enabled our country to be less dependent on outside resources but at great cost. In my opinion fracking damages the environment, the water supply and pollutes the air. I have shared a roundup of articles on the topic so you can make your own conclusions.
