What is hydraulic fracturing – or fracking ?
Since the Industrial Revolution, our energy consumption has consistently increased. The majority of this energy demand is met by fossil fuels like coal and natural gas. Recently, there has been much debate surrounding a controversial method of extracting natural gas: hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. In simple terms, fracking refers to the extraction of natural gas from deep layers within the Earth. This process involves fracturing porous rock using water, sand, and chemicals to release the trapped natural gas. Although the technique of fracking has been known since the 1940s, it has only experienced a significant "fracking boom" in the last decade, particularly in the United States.

If We Should Stop Sleeping
Losing sleep can have serious consequences. The United Nations considers it a form of torture, and the longer it goes on, the worse it gets. Just 48 hours without sleep is considered extreme sleep deprivation, but you’ll probably start to notice weirdness before that. After 18 hours without sleep, you might feel a little tipsy. Staying awake for 24 hours is the equivalent of drinking three or four drinks in two hours. And after 48 hours without sleep, your BAC might be at 0.1%, which is higher than the legal driving limit in every state. You might feel foggy, less alert, or double vision, almost like you're wearing sleepy beer goggles. That's because sleep deprivation slows down how your brain cells communicate with each other. So even if you're drinking alcohol, drowsiness will increase its effects. And caffeine only works up to a certain point; by the end of a day and a half without sleep, it'll start to wear off.
