Good for you. I live in a state which has banned fracking. We have survived. Amazing.
And none of the gasoline you put into your car and none of the natural gas that you (maybe) cook with is fracked, right? It's all good old fashioned drilled?

You import other states' petroleum products. That's how.

Most of the US's pro-rata decrease in greenhouse gasses over the last many years is due to natural gas.

As someone in O&G, from a purely selfish perspective, Biden and crew slowing fracking on federal lands and protected areas would help my pocketbook - same with states. However, it would hurt yours.

Would you please post some of the cases in which people were injured/poisoned by fracking fluids? None of the false-flag current era biological decomposition gas nonsense either.
and before we learned to drill for oil millions of whales died to keep the lamps lit.
Great points. Producing energy is always messy and imperfect. To the enviro-wackos this is a fourth-grade civics project. These peoples' solutions are on an infantile level; the "rich people" will pay for it all.
In O&G settlements often mean nothing. I pay non-lease holders/non-rights holders "royalty" payments all the time to avoid nuisance lawsuits.
If the thrust of that paper was correct half of all Texans would be dead. Heck, can't sleep......blame the gas company.
Nuisance lawsuits, yes I suppose that is a word to use when you get hit in the pocket for disregard of regulations and safety of the environment and mankind. What a flippant attitude to parlay against society .
Where did you get half of Texas? No where is that stat/percentage indicated. What IS indicated is that Fracking is a hazard and the benefits DO not outweigh a life. Period. Let that sink in instead of hazardous waste .....

That's low information sloganism. Stow the preachy-hypocrisy and get back to me the day you don't drive a car, use public transport, heat your abode, shop at the grocery store, need a hospital, use the computer or phone your post with etc. The benefits pay a net positive social yield.

My attitude is flippant regarding nuisance lawsuits not legitimate ones. I can offer many examples of the former but will stick with one.
I was sued by a lady who claimed vibrations from a seismic vibrator truck used on my property caused her all manner of physical problems - keep in mind her home was miles away. The problem is it wasn't a seismic truck it was an anhydrous ammonia buggy.

My half of Texas line was obviously a device used to make a point. And that point remains if fracking was as bad as low info-types like you believe Texas would be overwhelmed with sick and dead people.
We/Texas have ~55,000 injection wells, produce much more than a billion barrels of oil and 9 or 10 trillion MCF of gas annually. There's a fair chance some of the electricity you've used lately was generated with Texas gas.

Do you have any stats on how much US fracked oil makes it to the US gasoline market?

I don't know the answer to your question specifically.
However, in 2019 according to Texas A&M roughly 63% of US oil was considered tight oil (that means nearly all of that number was fracked) and roughly 87% of natural gas was unconventional.
"Nationally, fracking produces two-thirds (67 percent) of the natural gas in the United States, according to the US Energy Information Administration, and approximately 50 percent of the nation's oil."
"Nationally, fracking produces two-thirds (67 percent) of the natural gas in the United States, according to the US Energy Information Administration, and approximately 50 percent of the nation's oil."
Do you have a time stamp on those numbers? I'm more or less sure both are old or maybe some imported products are being considered.
Many more high paying green jobs and actually addressing the global warming crisis. A win-win for America and planet earth.
