Você apoia o uso de fracking hidráulico para extrair recursos de petróleo e gás natural?

Se um amigo argumentasse que o fracking é essencial para o crescimento económico, como responderia, tendo em conta tanto o ambiente como a criação de emprego?

Você acha que os avanços tecnológicos podem tornar o fracking mais seguro e ecologicamente correto, ou devemos nos concentrar em recursos alternativos?

Que mudança você estaria disposto a fazer em seu estilo de vida atual se isso significasse reduzir os impactos negativos da extração de energia?

Se você tivesse que escolher entre custos de energia mais baixos ou proteção ambiental, o que escolheria e o que fundamenta sua decisão?

Como você imagina o futuro energético ideal e qual o papel que as energias não renováveis desempenham nessa visão?

Considerando a procura global de energia, como equilibrar a necessidade de petróleo e gás com os potenciais riscos para o ambiente?

Que valores ou prioridades você acha que deveriam orientar as nossas escolhas de produção de energia face às alterações climáticas e porquê?

Você ou alguém que você conhece sofreu algum impacto direto do fracking e, em caso afirmativo, qual foi esse impacto?

Como você se sentiria se um local de fracking fosse instalado perto de sua comunidade e quais preocupações ou benefícios lhe vêm à 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.
