Scenarios about 'fracking'
The extraction of oil and natural gas from shale rock formations by injecting high-pressure fluid to create fractures that allow resources to flow more freely. Fracking revolutionized energy production in the early 21st century, particularly in the United States, transforming global energy markets and geopolitics. In alternate history scenarios, different timelines of fracking development could significantly alter energy independence, environmental policies, and international power dynamics.
What If The Shale Revolution Never Happened?
Exploring the alternate timeline where hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling technologies failed to unlock vast reserves of shale oil and gas, dramatically altering global energy markets, geopolitics, and climate policy in the 21st century.
