Smith the combination of hydraulic fracturing called fracking this technological breakthrough has helped create hundreds of thousands of jobs for the resurging Manufacturing Sector and has allowed the nation to become more energy independent. As with any type of technological process, any risk must be evaluated carefully. By the use of verifiable science.
