 What is Fracking?
● Hydraulic fracturing
● Method: extracts gas and oil by injecting water, sand, and chemicals.
● Drill a well and inject a mixture of water, sand, and chemicals at high
pressure into the rock
● Creates small fractures allowing gas
and oil to the surface
 Basic information
● Documented in >30 US states and is expanding
● In 2014: 90% of all new onshore oil & gas
60% of natural gas
● Cracks in and below the Earth's surface are opened and widened
● Some countries and states have banned or placed moratoriums on fracking,
while others continue to support and expand the practice.
 Impacts of fracking
● has been a topic of controversy
● can potentially impact on the environment and human health

Increase in natural gas and oil production Create jobs and economic growth
 On the other hand…
● Fracking can have negative environmental impacts:

Air and water pollution Potential for earthquakes

 PROS and CONS of FRACKING
Pros Cons

● Increased domestic production ● Environment concerns

● Job creation ● Climate change
● Lower energy costs ● Large amount of water use
● Tax revenue ● Cause small earthquakes
● Less land use ● Produce significantly noise
● Reduced air pollution pollution
● Impacts on wildfire
 Conclusion
● In conclusion, fracking demands careful consideration of its risks
and benefits. We must explore alternative energy options while
considering the environmental and health impacts.

Way to fracking carefully Alternate energy options
