Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, has been a contentious issue due to its environmental, social, and health impacts

Here are some key points to support the "No" position on fracking:

Water Contamination: Fracking involves injecting a mixture of water, sand, and chemicals deep into the ground to extract oil or gas. This process can contaminate groundwater, as evidenced by instances of methane and toxic chemicals seeping into drinking water sources.

Air Pollution: Fracking operations release volatile organic compounds (VOCs), methane, and other air pollutants. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, contributing to climate change, and VOCs can lead to respiratory issues and smog formation.

Seismic Activity: Fracking has been linked to increased seismic activity, including earthquakes, due to the injection of fluids into the ground, which can destabilize fault lines.
