-Fracking is the injection of fluid into shale beds at high pressure in order to free up petroleum resources.

The majority of Arkansas' fracking occurs in the Fayetteville shale, a rural region that has been transformed into a busy industrial zone with its fracking boom. From 2005-2012, close to 5,000 wells were fracked.

In recent years, Arkansas has been plagued with earthquakes, and multiple studies have linked them to fracking wastewater disposal.

In 2011, the Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission deemed a 1,150-square-mile segment of the Fayetteville shale off-limits for waste disposal in response to the seismic activity. The following year, the commission adopted rules requiring drillers to provide information on the geology of their well sites and to drill wells away from known fault lines.

Did You Know?

A report by the Environmental Integrity Project, released in 2014, found that Arkansas has 168 fracking sites that have illegally injected diesel fuel into the ground while fracking, which violates the Clean Water Act.

-fracking is the process of injecting liquid at high pressure into subterranean rocks, boreholes, etc, so as to force open existing fissures and extract oil or gas.
-fracking is done in places such as california, new mexico, north dakota, colorado, Oklahoma, illinois, indiana, ohio, west virgina, florida, north carolina, maryland, Pennsylvania, new jersey, new york, Massachusetts and maine.
-i dont think its very ethical, i believe it is only destroying our planet and in the long run, we will eventually lose more money than we make through fracking.

Fracking is a technique in which rock is fractured by a pressurized liquid.  It is happening in Arkansas, California, Colorado, Louisiana, maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, West Virginia, Wyoming. In my opinion aslong it is cost effective its fine. I'd say the benefits outweigh the negatives as even though its bad for the environment it is making jobs and giving us cheap gas.https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/13/us/reversing-course-epa-says-fracking-can-contaminate-drinking-water.html?rref=collection%2Ftimestopic%2FGas%20(Fuel)&action=click&contentCollection=energy-environment&region=stream&module=stream_unit&version=latest&contentPlacement=8&pgtype=collection&_r=0

Fracking uses high pressured water to extract oil and natural gas.
Occurs in:
Texas
New mexico
Oklahoma
Cali
north Dakota
indiana
ohio
michigian
virginia
west virginia
Louisiana
Mississippi
Arkanasas
alabama
Montana
nebraska
utah
wyoming

No, there are many more negatives. Carcinogenic chemicals could leak out into the groundwater contaminating groundwater which is a big source of freshwater supply. Fracking can also cause tremors, or a small earthquake throwing of people nearby.

What is Fracking? well ill tell ya, fracking is the process of injecting liquids at a high pressure into rocks.

States being fracked
Arkansas
California
Colorado
Louisiana
Maryland
Michigan
New Jersey
New York
North Carolina
North Dakota
Oklahoma
Pennsylvania
Texas
West Virginia
Wyoming
I say keep fracking it will lower oil prices and decrease are dependency on the middle east. However the environment will be hurt which is a down side.  http://www.frackfeed.com/9-reasons-you-should-support-fracking/

fracking is the process of injecting liquid at high pressure into rocks and boreholes to force open existing fissures and extract oil or gas. Fracking is being done in Texas, Indiana, New York, Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, North Carolina, and California. I think that the benefits of fracking out way the negatives because we need those resources. https://insideclimatenews.org/news/20150120/map-fracking-boom-state-state

1. Fracking is the process of Injecting Liquid at High Pressure Into rocks, boreholes and etc.

2. Arkansas
California
Colorado
Louisiana
Maryland

3. The benefits definitely outweigh the negatives.

Fracking is the process of putting pressure on rocks and putting a water, sand, and chemical substance into the rocks to allow the gas or oil to flow out. It is being done in California, Washington, North Dakota, Colorado, Maryland, Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Arkansas, Texas, North Carolina, New Jersey, and Wyoming. I agree with using fracking. I believe the benefits of fracking outweigh the negatives of it because without it, we would have less ability to travel and do what we want. People of America would be extremely limited in their abilities if we didn't have gas or oil. Without oil, the world would be doomed.

1. Fracking is the use of sand, water, and chemicals at high pressures to blast open shale rock and release the trapped gas inside.

2. fracking primarily takes place in the northest in Pennsylvania and new York. in the south like texas and Oklahoma and Louisiana. and then in the west in areas like Colorado.

3. I think the negatives outweigh the positives, fracking requires millions of gallons of water, fresh, open, untouched land. As with any industrial activity, the development of oil and gas involves risks to air, land, water, wildlife and communities.

1.) fracking is the process of injecting liquid at high pressure into rocks and boreholes.
2.) Fracking occurs in the united states in Arkansas, California, Colorado, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, North Carolina, Oklahoma Pennsylvania, Texas, West Virginia, Wyoming
3.) In my opinion the benefits outweigh the negatives because we need the resources that we get from fracking

1.Fracking is the process of injecting liquid at high pressure into subterranean rocks, boreholes, etc., so as to force open existing fissures and extract oil or gas.

2. Arkansas, California, Colorado, Louisiana, Maryland,Michigan,New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania,Texas, West Virginia, Wyoming

3. The benefits out weigh the negatives because its supporting a lot of people and we need those resources and that lands not being used for anything else.

1. Fracking is drilling down into the earth before a high-pressure water mixture is directed into the rock to release the gas inside.
2. Arkansas, California, Colorado, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, New York,North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, West Virginia, Wyoming.
3. The benefits outweigh the negatives because we need those resources and we can restore the land
