Êtes-vous favorable à l’utilisation de la fracturation hydraulique pour extraire des ressources de pétrole et de gaz naturel?

Si un ami soutenait que la fracturation hydraulique est essentielle à la croissance économique, que répondriez-vous, compte tenu à la fois de l’environnement et de la création d’emplois ?

Pensez-vous que les progrès technologiques peuvent rendre la fracturation hydraulique plus sûre et plus respectueuse de l’environnement, ou devrions-nous nous concentrer sur des ressources alternatives ?

Quel changement seriez-vous prêt à apporter à votre mode de vie actuel si cela signifiait réduire les impacts négatifs de l’extraction d’énergie ?

Si vous deviez choisir entre une baisse des coûts énergétiques ou la protection de l’environnement, lequel choisiriez-vous et qu’est-ce qui éclaire votre décision ?

Comment envisagez-vous l’avenir énergétique idéal et quel rôle les énergies non renouvelables jouent-elles dans cette vision ?

Compte tenu de la demande mondiale d’énergie, comment concilier les besoins en pétrole et en gaz et les risques potentiels pour l’environnement ?

Selon vous, quelles valeurs ou priorités devraient guider nos choix de production d’énergie face au changement climatique et pourquoi ?

Avez-vous, ou quelqu’un que vous connaissez, subi un impact direct de la fracturation hydraulique, et si oui, quel a été cet impact ?

Que ressentiriez-vous si un site de fracturation hydraulique était installé à proximité de votre communauté, et quelles préoccupations ou quels avantages vous viendraient à l’esprit ?

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.
