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 :/

I didn’t bother to watch the debate, but the only definition of Fracking that i know of is short for Hydraulic Fracturing, a method used to drill for oil and natural gas. The method basically uses a pressurized water mixture to break open bedrock to access fossil fuels more readily, but its highly controversial due to pollution concerns.
