Gang, Duane W. "Friction over 'fracking' grows across South." USA Today 2 Oct. 2013: 06A. Opposing Viewpoints In Context. Web. 21 Oct. 2013.

Summary:
     This article is talking about how the practice of fracking is starting to move to the south, and the hesitance of residence in the areas.  Recently in Tennessee, a proposal to provide funding for fracking was denied by the government, providing a small victory for environmentalists in the south.  However, there are more proposals in southern states such as Alabama where national parks are up on the auction block for oil companies to buy and use as they want (which will most likely be fracking).
     My opinion still stands that fracking should not occur anywhere, and especially in national parks.  The whole point of national parks is to preserve nature and the natural beauty of the area.  If they were to conduct fracking in the area, that would effectively destroy the nature in the area.
