Fracking is the process of extracting oil or natural gas from shale rock. Water, sand and chemicals are injected into the rock at high pressure which fractures the rock and allows the oil or gas to flow out to a well. While fracking has significantly boosted oil production, there are environmental concerns that the process is contaminating groundwater.
It is good because of the resources we can use from it, but bad because it can cause minor earthquakes and water polution.
Yes,accept in highly populated area or nature resuvations
Yes, but only until we develop more sustainable energy sources.
Yes and no. Yes, due to the amount of energy can be gained and no due to damage to the environment. I would no longer support fracking until a more sustainable energy source can prove to be better than fracking.
For now, until we have alternative energy sources
Yes, but not on public lands and apply a carbon tax
Yes, but only until we can transition to cleaner energy
@9PT6P3TIndependent12mos
Yes, but increase oversight and pursue more research needed to measure the long term effects as well as other sustainable energy resources.
Not well educated to have an opinion.
I need more info on this to make my opinion.
i don't really get it.
Yes, until alternative/renewable energy sources overtake the production of fracking.
@9MYF7DCIndependent12mos
Yes, with increased oversight, not in heavily populated areas. Diversify energy resources.
Yes, but work toward reducing our reliance on fracking by investing in alternative energy sources
Yes, but there should be more testing and research to measure long term effects.
Yes, But in must be phased out as Natural Gas is a good Transition Fuel
No, we should pursue more sustainable energy resources instead but also put more research into the long term effects of fracking.
No, fracking should be banned a more sustainable solution should be found since we do not know the long-term effects of fracking will cause.
Yes, but we should heavily consider phasing out the industry in order to help prevent dangerous climate change.
@9LR2D6CProgressive12mos
donot know the procedure have to sit out on that one
We need to phase it out but until we have better infrastructure it should stay.
Fracking shouldn’t be allowed on National land and that land should not be taken by the Gov for any reason it is set aside for the people of this country and should be left alone
No, we should do more research to measure the long term effects of fracking and find an alternative and more sustainable energy source if we were to transition away from hydraulic fracking.
@9L8QNKPLibertarian12mos
No, but I dont think the government should ban it
I don’t have enough information on this topic, in order to give an opinion.
yes, but we need to research ways to prevent it to cause pollution.
Yes, but keep looking for more ways to extract oil and natural gases in a safer way.
@9L4V6L2Republican12mos
invest more in nuclear energy
Yes, but as long as alternative sustainable energy sources are being pursued
@9L48HLHConstitution12mos
Yes, for the short term untilmore sustainable long term solutions are in place.
No, it is further damaging our planet and should be banned
@9L42D38Constitution12mos
Yes but More regulation to make it safer And not in high populated areas
@9L3L74TRepublican12mos
Yes, so long as the landowner permits fracking on their land
only if there are no other safer alternatives
@9L38Q63Progressive12mos
No, I don't support it, but for political reasons, democratic candidates must support in at the moment in order to win PA.
Need to phase it out as we transition to sustainable energy sources
it’s good in a way but to be honest i don’t really know about that so i should care about it
@9L2C4LWLibertarian12mos
No, but I don’t believe the government has the right to ban it
Yes but not in heavily populated areas AND with more oversight AND with push for long term committment to sustainable energy
do not know enough about it to make a stance
I don´t really know.
Yes, as long as we find a solution to make sure that this process isn't contaminating ground water. If we can not figure out a solution this process will only be in a non-polluted environment where it cannot hurt nor affect any living thing.
@9KY6KCHConstitution12mos
Yes but only in the Bureau of Land properties.
yes in till we find a new and reusable source
@9KXWWC9Independence12mos
Yes, but not if it is ruining a place for animals to live.
@9KXMPYGConstitution12mos
I don’t agree with it but our country’s economy isn’t in a place to be able to safely switch over to renewable energy
Yes continue fracking with Caution, but research the long term effects of fracking while we still get oil.
No, and it should be illegal.
Yes, but increase oversight and direct resources toward finding cleaner sources.
