This prediction is based on the assumption that the natural gas from fracking would be replaced by coal. If natural gas were replaced by renewable energy sources instead, a fracking ban would not raise CO2 emissions.

Question

Answer

Pro: Although there is not currently enough renewable energy production to replace fracking, this can be changed by increasing the renewable energy supply. When this is done, a ban on fracking will be feasible.

Should fracking be banned? (ANTI-Fracking)

This prediction is based on the assumption that the natural gas from fracking would be replaced by coal. If natural gas were replaced by renewable energy sources instead, a fracking ban would not raise CO2 emissions.
