Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, has transformed the US fossil fuel industry, unlocking reserves across 20 states, but raises serious environmental and health concerns.
No country has extracted as much oil and gas as the US in the past six years, leading to increased reliance on natural gas as the primary electricity source.
The health impacts of fracking are worrying, with numerous reports linking living near wells to health issues like headaches, low birth weights, and higher cancer risks.
Scientists have long emphasized the need to phase out fossil fuels to maintain a livable climate, making the debate over fracking a critical issue.
