Starting in the 1940s, oil and gas drilling companies began fracking rock by pumping pressurized water into it. So approximately one million Americans wells have been fracked since the 1940’s. That's means that we have used it many times before so it's not bad if we use it again. However, countries are already trying to ban fracking like France and Bulgaria. Although many countries have banned fracking thinking it dangerous but if we use fracking might not be that dangerous we can end up using it for good. Some of the local effects of drilling and fracking have gotten a lot of press but caused few problems. This shows that fracking doesn't make a lot of problems so we would be able to pull thru it because we always fight the problems we face.
