what is fracking: the good and the bad!!
On the other hand, environmentalists say the downward drilling process, if done poorly, releases chemicals into both ground and surface water. Both arguments are strong, which is why no one can agree whether fracking is a good or bad thing.
Drilling companies suggest trillions of cubic feet of shale gas may be recoverable from underneath parts of northern England, through a process known as fracking. Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is a technique designed to recover gas and oil from shale rock.
