The United States should increase their usage of hydraulic fracturing because of the extreme economic benefits, the potential to encourage energy independence, and its environmental benefits. Fracking creates millions of high paying jobs that help people climb out of debt and get back on their feet. Also, becoming energy independent would give Americans more security. Terroristic groups such as ISIS would no longer get as much funding for the oil industry and the United States would have no economic ties to the Middle East. Natural gas has environmental benefits that reduces the emissions of greenhouse gases and can help prevent global warming. Americans all over the country will benefit from the low fuel prices fracking will create and the country can be great once again with a booming economy.
