During tonight’s national coverage fracking was a topic brought up on multiple occasions. Can someone explain what it is and the pros and cons of it? Need it because a google search did not help :/

Fluids and sand is pumped into downhole formations in the ground at extreme pressures. The fluids flow back to the surface but the sand expands the formations where gas is stored and allows the gas to flow into the well, thus increasing production.
