> Fracking is immensely damaging to the ecosystem.

Not really. Energy is a dirty business, and also one filled with politics and propoganda. Fracking, much like nuclear, was targeted mostly for political, not technical reasons. It's damaging, but less so than coal and not all that much more than vanilla drilling and pipelines in general.




Worth to mention that US reserves are enormous even without fracking. Tons of oil, and gas everywhere.
