Pros and Cons List: Continue Fracking with System Improvements vs. New Fuel Sources Proposal I Pros: -economy is supported strongly by methane and shale gas and new fuel source would only upset economy - fuel source is already proven effective and is current mainstay and research shows that with some method improvements it would be much less problematic to gather. - few recorded examples of direct pollution through use of fuel without faulty elements at stake - considering recent updates fracking is currently the fastest and most practical method of obtaining this fuel type. Cons: - Improvements would necessitate more thorough supervision and the strengthening for these new methods would take a while to apply as well as put a lot more pressure to get it right. - the environmental concerns - while it employs people at home and abroad, the companies would be thrown into greater competition concerns and potential for harm to employees can result - the clashes with opponents discredit the practice publicly and cause further disputes, maybe putting some out of jobs or undoing funds to other fuels.

Proposal II Pros: - easier to gather new fuel sources -more renewable and potentially less harmful in use if used the right way. - opening up new economic rises and more considerate and thorough process that benefits new customers - appeases environmentalists and lessens competition eventually Cons: - jobs would be lost in transferring to new process and source. - new fuel sources could be just as potentially wasteful if handled badly. - the tax required to update the system effectively along with new source would upset widespread populace.
