¿Recolza l’ús de fracking hidràulic per extreure els recursos de petroli i gas natural?

Si un amic argumentés que el fracking és essencial per al creixement econòmic, com respondries, tenint en compte tant el medi ambient com la creació d’ocupació?

Creus que els avenços tecnològics poden fer que el fracking sigui més segur i respectuós amb el medi ambient, o hem de centrar-nos en recursos alternatius?

Quin és un canvi que estaries disposat a fer al teu estil de vida actual si signifiqués reduir els impactes negatius de l’extracció d’energia?

Si haguéssiu d’escollir entre costos energètics més baixos o protecció del medi ambient, quin triaríeu i què informa la vostra decisió?

Com imagineu el futur energètic ideal i quin paper hi juga l’energia no renovable en aquesta visió?

Tenint en compte la demanda global d’energia, com equilibreu la necessitat de petroli i gas amb els riscos potencials per al medi ambient?

Quins valors o prioritats creus que haurien de guiar les nostres eleccions de producció d’energia davant el canvi climàtic i per què?

Has experimentat tu o algú que coneixes algun impacte directe del fracking i, si és així, quin va ser aquest impacte?

Com us sentiu si un lloc de fracking s’hagués creat a prop de la vostra comunitat, i quines preocupacions o beneficis us vénen al cap?

Yes, but be smart about it- I.E. Take into consideration where you will be fracking and if it will affect peoples homes, water, health and overall well being and quality of living

I support hydraulic fracking in the U.S., ONLY, if it is AMERICAN OWNED interests doing it. I am against foreign corps. (the Chinese) performing this here.

In a safer form, not in its current poisonous form. We shouldn't be leaving buried chemicals in the ground that will eventually seep into water supplies. In fact, why are they using the poisonous chemicals that they use now anyways, when they have safer and more efficient extraction methods?

Yes, but there needs to be verifiable evidence that it does not harm the ground water sources before it can be used

Concerns are based on sound evidence. Companies need to be controlled in their pursuit of oil at the expense of h2o and peoples health.

Yes, with greatly increased oversight but while also pursing renewable sources of energy such as solar, hydro, and wind power.

Yes but it needs to be done responsibly. Also there should be ongoing monitoring of its effects on the earth and environment. Again, oil is a finite commodity so look for alternative sources of energy.

I believe it is important for both our economy and current country affairs to continue to extract resources to fuel production and economy. However, fracking may not be the best choice. If it is the best choice for certain circumstances and it is needed to keep a healthy economy I believe it should be used. I am all for protecting the environment but I also recognize the need for natural resources and believe God gave us this earth to utilize for our benefit and well being. We should not intentionally destroy nature though.

Increase overesight, and scientific monitoring of fracking to determine if the process endangers water supplies, decreases ground stability, or has other harmful environmental effects.

Some fracking is perfectly harmless, and helpful. It's not a black and white issue, there are degrees of harm done, including none at all.

Fracking should be studied more for it's long term effects. The oil industry has not proved it is environmentally sound. Lighting tap water on fire says something is amiss. Ground water is more important.
