Is fracking bad?



https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1314018453192409102

In response to:

PENCE'S CLAIM: "They want to abolish fossil fuels and ban fracking, which would cost hundreds of thousands of American jobs all across the heartland."

HARRIS' RESPONSE: "I will repeat, and the American people know, that Joe Biden will not ban fracking."

We should definitely be focusing on better means of energy (cough nuclear cough) but fracking being the hot new literal devil is just people who don't know anything about it and are easily spooked. It does not cause city destroying earth quakes and will not make your kitchen sink shoot flames. The worst thing about fracking is just that it's an extremely complex and inefficient system just to squeeze a bit of oil and gas out of buried rock. It's just a stop gap.

Banning fracking would not be a good political move. It's like banning guns. You can make a good argument for it and a lot of people will support it, but in the end it will piss off too many people and the opposition will be able to leverage it against them.

Serious question: If it's inefficient then why are people spending so much money to do it? Are more efficient methods no longer viable?

The way you get rid of fracking is reducing reliance of fossil fuels so its cost prohibitive.

Somewhat, all the more easily accessible sources of oil have already been hit up over the last ~200 years, so if you wanted to keep production up (and it has kept going up rather than been at a stable rate) you'd need to consider options such as:
-fracking (and other similar techniques)
-off shore oil rigs
-removing environmental protections on places like national parks some of which are bound to be rich in oil

Obviously these all have cons, which is why ideally governments would invest heavily in new fossil fuel alternatives. But instead they still put up incentives into pumping out oil and even progressive tech companies like Google who support green energy are helping prop up the industry from the software side of things. Energy consumption and sourcing is very complex and society is very much still stuck in using oil as a major source.

edit: just a little addition, there is a large element of kicking the can down the road when it comes to doing stuff like fracking. But as long as they get more money out than they put in companies will look for new creative ways to get at oil. And as long as governments perceive it as necessary, they will continue to incentivise it via tax breaks or other forms of funding

because it's still the most efficient way to get the most oil/gas from your operations in the majority of still-viable plays out there
