    Hydraulic fracturing

    Hydraulic fracturing (more commonly known as "fracking") is a process for developing oil and gas wells. The process involves the use of materials (such as sand and water) injected at high speeds to create wells. Fracking has certain dangers, such as contaminating drinking water and methane pollution.
