Fracking: A Solution To The World

Fracking refers to the process of injecting liquids under high pressure into subterranean rocks to force open cracks from which to extract oil or gas. So it’s basically a substance injected into a rock that cracks the rock open and lets out oil and gasses. I think this is a good thing to do because it’s lowering the price as a whole. Plus we don’t have to worry about as much pollution because we won’t have to use coal. But, others don’t think the same because the rocks are natural and they don’t think they should be messed with. Now in some scenarios it is bad, but overall I think it's a great concept with not as much pollution to the world. My factual evidence is basically it comparing to coal. Now coal is extremely dangerous because burning coal causes smog, soot, and acid rain. Burning …show more content…
Coal produces a stable source of energy. Coal provides many jobs. Coal is also American made. Also coal provides 56% of the electricity used in the nation each day. These are some things coal has helped with. Some good things about fracking is that the price of oil is 20% lower than what it would be. Low gas prices have led to America’s first new industrial build in 40 years. We have unlocked a vast energy resource while remaining environmentally responsible. Thanks to fracking, oil and gas is perhaps the only robust industry that is hiring at every level. These are some great things that fracking has helped. In conclusion, I have shown you goods and bads of coal and fracking and from what I see is that fracking has been the better option. Coal has some good things about it but fracking does also. Burning coal has killed in the past and not just a couple, no I mean alot. Fracking is the reason for lower gas prices in the past couple of years which has helped shape America out a little bit. These are my reasonings for why Fracking is the right choice for people in America and other parts of the
