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 :/

ElI5. Fracking is getting oil out of shale deposits by injecting water into the earth.
It came up during the debate because at one point VP Harris was against it, because it was not as efficient as getting oil by other means. Dana Bash at CNN tried to have a media moment saying that VP Harris had “reversed” her position on fracking.
In reality she realized that we need a transition plan to go from fossil fuels to other forms of energy.
The reason why it was a debate point is that the GOP ran ads based on the Bashed interview to try to paint the democratic nominee into a corner.
So bottom line it was media created non issue.
