Fracking

There is currently lots of controversy concerning fracking lately. Fracking is a process of extracting oil by shooting pressurized water into a drilling site. This process created lots of jobs and it brings in lots of revenue but lots of people think it causes earthquakes. Many believe this process is hurting the environment. Lately courts have been letting cities decide if they want to ban fracking some cities have even had referendums about the matter. Although the environment is very important I believe that jobs are more important at least for right now. The reality is that more jobs are needed everywhere and this meets that demand and brings in lots of revenue for funding different outlets. If there is enough evidence supporting fracking causes earthquakes then it should be strictly regulated so not to put peoples lives in danger.
