Hydraulic fracturing in the United States began in 1949. According to the Department of Energy (DOE), by 2013 at least two million oil and gas wells in the US had been hydraulically fractured, of 29-18 and the House 61-37. Washington is a non-oil and gas state that had no fracking operations when the bill was passed. Hydraulic fracturing is a well stimulation technique in which rock is fractured by a pressurized liquid. The process involves the high-pressure injection of 'fracking fluid' (primarily However, shale oil and gas is highly subsidisied in the US, and has not yet covered production costs – meaning that the cost of hydraulic  Shale oil production makes the United States more energy independent. Storing barrels of shale oil helps prices remain more stable. Shale oil extraction (fracking )  Fracking has been safely used in the United States since 1947. More than 1.7 million U.S. wells have been completed using the fracking process, producing more  5 Mar 2020 The U.S. shale oil and gas boom has provided lots of cheap energy and good jobs. But fracking threats loom, from Election 2020 to solar power 

24 Apr 2015 Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, uses water, sand and chemicals pumped into a well to open small cracks that will release the oil or gas.

Fracking has become a means of manipulating the oil market which is necessary to prevent the chaos that would ensue if 80%-90% of the US public could not afford the amount of gas for their cars that the US economy requires to be a healthy economy. U.S. shale producers need oil to be expensive enough to give them incentive to pump, and prices have once again reached that sweet spot. The U.S. Energy Information Administration was already forecasting record high U.S. oil production in 2018. Fracking is a proven drilling technology used for extracting oil, natural gas, geothermal energy, or water from deep underground. Fracking has been safely used in the United States since 1947. More than 1.7 million U.S. wells have been completed using the fracking process, producing more than seven billion barrels of oil and 600 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. Hydraulic fracturing technology, more commonly known as "fracking," paved the way for drilling into America's enormous shale deposits. It has fueled a dramatic boom in U.S. oil production.
