Siete favorevoli all’utilizzo di fracking idraulico per estrarre le risorse di petrolio e gas naturale?

Riesci a pensare a un momento in cui una questione ambientale ha influenzato la tua vita o quella della tua comunità, e in che modo ciò influenza la tua visione del fracking?

Se un amico sostenesse che il fracking è essenziale per la crescita economica, come risponderesti, considerando sia l’ambiente che la creazione di posti di lavoro?

Pensi che i progressi tecnologici possano rendere il fracking più sicuro e più rispettoso dell’ambiente, o dovremmo concentrarci su risorse alternative?

Quale cambiamento saresti disposto ad apportare al tuo stile di vita attuale se ciò significasse ridurre gli impatti negativi dell’estrazione di energia?

Se dovessi scegliere tra costi energetici più bassi o protezione ambientale, cosa sceglieresti e cosa guida la tua decisione?

Come immagina il futuro energetico ideale e che ruolo gioca l’energia non rinnovabile in tale visione?

Considerando la domanda globale di energia, come si bilancia la necessità di petrolio e gas con i potenziali rischi per l’ambiente?

Quali valori o priorità ritieni dovrebbero guidare le nostre scelte di produzione energetica di fronte al cambiamento climatico e perché?

Tu o qualcuno che conosci avete sperimentato un impatto diretto dal fracking e, in caso affermativo, quale è stato quell’impatto?

Come ti sentiresti se un sito di fracking fosse allestito vicino alla tua comunità e quali preoccupazioni o vantaggi ti vengono in mente?

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.
