Summary

77% Informative

Fracking is an oil and gas extraction technique that involves injecting rocks with a mix of water, sand and chemicals.

About two-thirds of U.S. oil production today comes from fracking.

The practice has been linked to significant health issues in communities that live nearby, ranging from asthma to cancer.

While she was on the campaign trail in 2019 , Harris said: “There’s no question I’m in favor of banning fracking” The Hill first reported that Harris was now taking a position against a fracking ban.

Studies have linked fracking to water pollution and earthquakes, drawing concerns from opponents.
