As you’ve heard, in countries like Australia and the USA, fracking has been increasing because governments see many benefits for energy supply and their economies.

I’d like to discuss these benefits now and then talk about the problems which people have raised about fracking.

Well, although increased production of shale gas will make sure that there’s always enough gas for people’s energy needs and the production of electrical energy, the economic benefit to the consumer is usually seen as more significant.

As the supply of shale gas grows, energy prices will come down and consumers will save a lot of money, according to supporters of fracking.
