Fracking Journal
If someone wanted to frack around my house, personally, I wouldn't be okay with it. This is because it could contaminate my water and kill the wild life around my home. Yes, natural gas is good for transportation and is cleaner for burning, it still, however, spills and ruins the environment. We would still need to use foreign resources for oil, it doesn't decrease our dependence for oil. The benefits do not equal out to the disadvantages and I believe people shouldn't be fracking.
