Fracking is quite interesting. Even our little country happens to have quite a bit of frackable reserves.
Yet our government has just ruled against a fracking project because of environmental concerns, despite the safety measures, checks and precautions in place here being much stricter than in the USA.
For an independent overview on fracking see
Wikipedia on fracking.
See the latter part of it.
Oil and gas companies are actively influencing public opinion on Twitter, Facebook, etc. They have the right to do so. But they are not unbiased messengers of the truth; they defend their interests.
Nobody is funding the anti-fracking movement though. That's just people disgruntled cause they cannot drink their tap water anymore.
