What is Fracking
CNN must know Harris's position on fracking, but does not seem to care about what the public thinks. Splinter is a platform for news and opinions that challenge the power in our political and economic system, which is becoming more unhinged each and every day.
Fracking, short for hydraulic fracturing, is a controversial method of extracting natural gas and oil from deep within the earth. The process involves injecting a high-pressure mixture of water, sand, and chemicals into underground rock formations to release the fossil fuels trapped inside. While proponents argue that fracking boosts the economy and reduces reliance on foreign energy sources, opponents raise concerns about its environmental impact, including water contamination, air pollution, and earthquakes.
