Yes, it has but the technology has advanced tremendously in the last ten to twenty. The directional tools to direct the frack sand has made it much more efficient than it was even fifteen years ago. Directional drilling and advances in frac technology are what made the USA energy independent again before the imbecile took over.

The cabal knew this, which is why they had the greenies up in arms claiming fracking was an environmental disaster, and Joe Q Public that doesn't know their ass from the hole in the ground was lapping it up. The environmental movement was intended to cripple the US just like all the ism's.
