so i looked all this up and cant find alot. its about fracking.. if you dont know what that is its basically i think getting natural gas. but the questions i need help with are...
where are the deposits of fracking?
would you want a fracking well operation IMBY? btw IMBY means (In My Back Yard)
and what the pro's and con's are of fracking..?
thank you so much for your help

Here's some starter information from the best in the business...
"So how does this process actually work? Well, it starts with a good bit of water and a lot of sand. Mix those two together, apply a couple thousand pounds of pressure, and introduce them to a reservoir several thousand feet below, often with the help of a small percentage of additives that aid in delivering that solution down the hatch.
Then physics takes over. The force of the water creates a network of tiny fissures in the impermeable rock. The flow of water acts as a delivery mechanism for the sand, which finds its way into those newly created cracks and holds them open. This creates passageways through which the previously trapped natural gas can travel to get to the wellbore. The fracturing process is now finished; on average, it takes 3 to 10 days to complete." -- Halliburton website
