The main effects that fracking has on economic aspects such as: taxes, oil and gas royalties, employment, Regional Gross Product, local spending on goods and services and finally on the provision of currency reserves. Finally, among the main environmental impacts it causes is water pollution, toxic gas emissions and seismic effects, considering the network of technologies behind fracking.
