Anti-Fracking Movements

Anti-fracking movements oppose hydraulic fracturing, a method used to extract oil and natural gas from underground rock formations. Critics raise concerns about environmental impacts, such as groundwater contamination, methane leaks, and seismic activity. They also worry about health risks for nearby communities and the long-term sustainability of fossil fuel dependence. These movements advocate for cleaner energy alternatives and stricter regulations to protect ecosystems and public health. While fracking has boosted energy production, the anti-fracking movement emphasizes caution, transparency, and a transition toward renewable energy sources for a sustainable future.
