Freakin’ Frakking

Frakking was developed as a way for us to achieve energy independence, but as oil prices drop drastically we are, ironically, less able to not import oil. Frakking is an expensive method of producing crude, and as oil prices have fallen to $76 a barrel, frakking is becoming a less viable option economically speaking.
