Fracking is still used today primarily because **it reaches hard-to-get-to oil and gas deposits**. This technology allows access to fossil fuel reserves that were previously considered unrecoverable, resulting in increased production and supply of energy resources. Other factors such as cost-effectiveness and demand for energy also contribute to its continued use, despite the environmental concerns associated with the process.
