Fracking is a way to get natural gas, but it does more than that. “Just like any other industrial activity, there are risks, but good engineering, in combination with sensible and effective regulation, reduces those risks to maximize societal benefit.” (Fracking is a good idea) Due to the discovery of natural gas in the United States, fracking can save money by no longer buying natural gas from other countries. Fracking is a good idea because it provides jobs, makes energy for the United States,…

Is wind energy practical? To some extent wind energy is practical. It is practical in these ways . First they require little maintenance,This source of power wance it is up and running really requires little maintenance all u have to do is sit back and wait for the wind to blow also they make a lot of energy with little maintenance. This is the energy of the future no mining no hiring people to mine the coal . No hauling the coal to the power plant to burn the coal . This means the cost of the…
