Fracking, which is short for hydraulic fracturing, is a process for extracting natural gas and sometimes oil from underground structures.
Fracking provides a source of electricity that is cleaner and cheaper than coal.
On March 18, 2014, a referendum on fracking in southern Illinois won in a landslide. Fracking has brought prosperity to Pennsylvania, where it is allowed, and is controversial in New York and New Jersey, where it is banned by statewide moratoria and some local ordinances.[1]
