Question Text
Hydraulic fracturing, commonly known as “fracking,” is a method of drilling for oil and gas. Fluid is injected into the ground at high pressure in order to crack the underground rocks and release the oil and gas. Some people say the government should ban fracking. They say that fracking is poisoning the water supply that millions of people drink. Other people say that the government should not ban fracking. They say that fracking has created jobs and decreased America's dependence on foreign energy. Do you think the government should or should not ban fracking?
