Do you support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources?

No, invest in nuclear.

Yes, but a portion of proceeds should be focused on research and building new, cleaner, energy sources. We must never become reliant on other countries for our nation's energy.

Have you or someone you know experienced any direct impact from fracking, and if so, what was that impact?

What values or priorities do you think should guide our energy production choices in the face of climate change and why?

Considering the global demand for energy, how do you balance the need for oil and gas with the potential risks to the environment?

How do you envision the ideal energy future, and what role does non-renewable energy play in that vision?

If you had to choose between lower energy costs or environmental protection, which would you pick, and what informs your decision?

What is a change you would be willing to make to your current lifestyle if it meant reducing the negative impacts of energy extraction?

Do you think technological advancements can make fracking safer and more environmentally friendly, or should we focus on alternative resources?

If a friend argued that fracking is essential for economic growth, how would you respond, considering both the environment and job creation?

Can you think of a time when an environmental issue affected your life or that of your community, and how does that influence your view on fracking?

No, we should use our resources to research sources of energy such as fusion

yes, until we can use more sustainable energy resources

Yes, natural gas is much better for both the economy and the environment than coal and oil.

No because doing that it makes it unnatural

Yes, but increase oversight to avoid oil spills, and find a way to continue the process in such a way where it possess no threat to the environment.

Yes, but increase regulations and oversight, and provide more scientific research to measure the effects it has, short and long-term, on us and to the environment. However, if it keeps getting worse, then phase it out and move towards better energy sources, such as nuclear and renewable energy.

Yes, but more oversight and rigorous following of safety procedures is needed to prevent and manage the risk of accidents that could cause harm, since fracking leads to environmental or health issues. There should be more research to measure the effects it has on the environment, and on human health.

Yes, but with more oversight and rigorous adherences to safety procedures to prevent accidents that could cause harm, since fracking leads to environmental or health issues. There should be more research to measure the effects it has on the environment, and on human health.

Yes, but with more oversight and rigorous adherences to safety procedures to prevent and manage accidents, since fracking leads to environmental or health issues. There should be more research to measure the long-term effects it has on the environment, and on human health.

No, fracking uses fabric softener and other chemicals harmful to the wildlife

Yes, but the industry needs to find safety ways to use this technology.

as long as they are held 100% reliable for anything that happens

No, we should pursue more sustainable energy resources, especially nuclear

Yes, as long as it is done in safe ways that does not harm the environment

i dont anything about this topic

No, research has concluded that fracking is harmful to the population and environment

I do not think fossil fuels are good, but so many people have jobs in fossil fuels.

In the short term, but begin to slowly transition to cleaner alternatives.

Companies should be able to decide what path is best for them and the government should not be involved at all.

No, we know enough about its effects on climate and our environment that it shouldn't be allowed.

It has a place in our world whether we like it or not, it's too big to fail

Yes, but not new permissions on federal land and we should incentivize alternate energy resources.

No, but it should not be banned.

For the moment yes but, phase it out in favor of sustainable energy sources

Yes, but only in areas where it is deemed low-risk to the population and environment.

Yes, but we should still pursue safer ways of resourcing

Yes, while we transition into other sustainable energy resources

No, but allow it

Yes, but only with increased oversight and not in heavily populated areas

Yes, but apply appropriate oversight, no subsidies, and mandate cost of energy = cost to produce energy + cost to environment/cleanup .

Yes, but phase-out of it in the coming years

There should be no laws related specifically to fracking.

Only in unpopulated and safe areas

Yes, but not in heavily populated areas and continue to pursue more sustainable energy resources.

Yes, but not in heavily populated areas and oversight should be increased.

For now, but we need to be incentivizing alternate methods.

Yes, we should pursue more sustainable energy resources instead, but so long as oversight is increased it is a practical way to produce energy.

No, but not governments responsibility

Not in the long run but temporarily until we can get more nuclear and renewable generation facilities reliably online without intermittency in the case of renewables

I need mor information about this topic

Yes, but only when alternative resources are not available.

I kinda do

dunno what that is

only if it doesent hurt the enviorment

While this process currently has a merit to society, I believe we should take measures to distance ourselves from the process at large. An emphasis on renewables and nuclear energy should be society's goal going forward.

i do not have enough information to conduct a stance.

Yes but there should be less of it.

Yes, with the condition that we are actively moving towards renewable energy.

Yes, but increase oversight and use it only when absolutely necessary, we need to get closer to being 100% green energy.

No, we should pursue more sustainable energy resources and conduct research to measure the long-term effects of domestic fracking

Yes, drill, baby drill and nationalize this industry.

No, the importance of fossil fuels in today's society should be recognised, but we should move towards more sustainable energy

Yes, but only until we adapt a more sustainable source of energy

Yes, but we should invest in more environmentally friendly energy sources such as nuclear energy instead

Yes, but increase regulation and oversight, and provide more scientific research to measure the effects it has, short and long-term, on us and to the environment. However, if the problem keeps getting worse, then phase it out and move towards better energy sources, such as nuclear and renewable energy.

Yes, but implement a tax on fracking.

Yes, but we should pursue more sustainable energy resources with a goal of eventually transitioning away from this practice

Yes, but we should be working towards cleaner energy resources in order to eventually eliminate the need for it.

Yes, until we can find other renewable resources.

Yes, but regulations and oversight should be put in place to make sure that the environment and wildlife are not harmed.

Yes. Fracking is a better alternative to coal

Yes, as long as it doesn't damage the environment or water supplies

do not know enough on the topic

Yes, but only to extract natural gas with increased oversight

How would you feel if a fracking site was set up near your community, and what concerns or benefits come to mind?
