Do you support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources?

Yes

Yes, but increase oversight

Yes, but not in heavily populated areas

i dont even know what that means

Yes but only minimally and transitionally as we pursue renewables

Yes, apply appropriate oversight, no subsidies, and mandate cost of energy = cost to produce energy + cost to environment/cleanup .

It should be banned in some areas but not all

Yes, but only for now, not in the long term. We can’t realistically switch to clean energy at the snap of a finger, so we should use it now but gradually decrease it as we taper off fossil fuels in general in favor of green energy.

Yes, temporarily while we invest in cleaner alternatives

Yes, with oversight to ensure public health is being negatively affected. Should move toward renewable energy

Yes, but companies should be held liable for negligence and damages to property and human life. Also, no more industry secrets. Citizens have a right to know what chemicals are being pumped into the soil.

Yes, oil and gas production is impossible without fracturing the rock formations. Similarly, geothermal absolutely requires 'fracking'.

Yes but with oversight and accountability with safety regulations and bylaws on how we get the oil and gas

Not support but tolerance for fracking, It's important that we search for alternatives that are more sustainable options.

I think water and sand is fine to use when extracting oil I don't think we should use chemicals to help extract oil because it can harm the earth and water sources.

Kinda, couldn't care really, God will take us all one day so what other people do its their problem especially the gov. I can't do much about what the government does.

I think its a good and easy way out, but it is ruining the planet. So I think there should be more research about it to find a better thing.

Although it is important, we should try to use nuclear energy instead. There's always the "Chernobyl Argument" of why we shouldn't use it, but the whole reason it went haywire is because it was poorly managed, and I'm sure the USA could do better.

I do support it, but we also need to research more into other energy resources so that we can decrease the amount of fracking as we increase the amount of other energy sources

they may continue unless we have another better way to solve the issue, but in less populated areas where they may not contaminate the water or environment around them. Plus we need to make sure it is safe. (more research)

Both yes and no i understand the reason for fracking , but its also so dangerous and unhealthy for us its lead to so many health compilations

yes I do believe that we need to rely on our own country for oil but also we should do it under regulation in order to keep the surrounding environment safe

while I think it is a worth it I also think we could come up with a way to limit the amount of toxic gases that emerge from fracking.

In regulation, I think that its is convenient for us but we could do better for our world and we probably should.

Yes, but only in the case of favoring fracking for worse alternatives like coal or oil burning, as fracking is the healthiest type of fossil fuel.

Yes, but it should be further regulated and tested to prevent wildlife habitat destruction and potential microquakes.

Depends. The risks could be water pollution and earthquakes. If they do it right, Then yeah, I think I can support it.

I support it but only if it is heavily regulated and can't be outsourced. Then once our reliance on oil goes down start to slowly faze it out unless we find a way to safely extract oil without any damage to the environment.

Yes, but only as a temporary energy source until cleaner alternative infrastructure can be established

I think we should pursue cleaner energy that is sustainable over a long period of time, but I don't think you can just dismantle fracking in the meantime. So I will say no, and that I do not support what it does to the environment, but I support the fact that it is needed right now.

Yes, but only for the short term. Oversight and regulations should be increased while we pursue more sustainable resources.

Yes, but we should have other options as well, not have all or the bulk of our energy coming from oil and natural gas.

Yes so that we are less relient on other contries oil, but we should still work towards going green.

no because this method can contaminate ground water and other studies have shown that it can lead to more earthquakes in earthquake prone regions such as California

Yes, for the sake of low unemployment, low inflation, low energy prices, good trade, a good supply chain, and a good GDP.

Yes, for the sake of low unemployment, job creation, low energy prices, low inflation, a good GDP, good trade, and a good supply chain.

Yes, but not in heavily populated areas and we should actively pursue more sustainable energy resources instead

Yes, but not in heavily populated areas and increase incentives to transition to sustainable and renewable resources.

Yes, this will help the economy in so many ways such as job creation, substantial GDP performance, keeping the unemployment rate low, keeping energy prices low, and helping trade and the supply chain

i believe the government needs to steer towards electrical power and only use when needed for either science or convenience.

I support it for now, but there needs to be a gradual shift away from that and to more sustainable practices

Yes, but we need more oversight and aftercare. The holes need to be sealed when done, they don't close them and it leaks deadly gasses.

no, but to avoid the economic impact they should incentivize for sustainable energy resources to be built in the same community

yes, but we should do more research to try and see if fracking is actually hurting the environment around the area, in order to fully understand the long-term effects to see if it is a safe and viable option for the continuing future.

For now but as we do this we should be investing more in cleaner energy solutions and then little by little decrease the amount of fracking.

in certain areas yes. but others area no and it should be researched more about the long term effects.

Yes, but we should be cautious with how much we expand fracking. There should be greater oversight, not be in heavily populated areas, and create a program where we increase funding for sustainable energy resources for every time we expand fracking

Yes, but stop relying on other countries, and only if we find a way to not pollute the underground water as well.

No, while there should be an effort to pursue sustainability, it is inevitable to completely end fracking in general. We should find ways to enforce a limited use of it... Hybrid cars, solar power, etc.

Yes, in the short term as we pursue more sustainable energy resources, but not in heavily populated areas. Increase oversight

No, and it should not take place within/near heavily populated (especially public) areas. We should pursue more sustainable, affordable, and efficient energy resources instead. We need increased & fair oversight and more research to measure the long term effects of fracking.

I would support it until there are other more environmentally friendly and efficient energy sources. Since I support it, it should not be done in heavily populated areas or near sources of agriculture, wildlife, or water people rely on.

No, we should pursue more sustainable resources instead and more research is needed to measure the long-term effects of fracking.

Yes, but we should be pursuing innovation in alternative techniques and continue to pursue other energy alternatives.

Yes, but in smaller quantities and more reform as to diversify the types of natural energy resources we are using

Hydraulic fracking to establish enhanced geothermal energy harvesting and white hydrogen extraction should be encouraged, especially if it reduces or eliminates the need for fossil fuels.

We should look more in to a long term energy source and look into the long term effects of fracking.

Yes, but they should be drilling for oil in oceans instead of on land which could be used for housing.

Yes, as long as they take more safety procedures and not do it in heavily populated areas where many people can become affected.

There needs to be better accountability! Make the companies accountable for the people. Water and food supplies need ultimate protection. Any proposed alterations to an existing area that has any chance of contaminating the water, air or ground must have legitimate actions in place to prevent such contamination. And the people who reside there must be fully prepared and accepting of both. People first. Homes cannot be destroyed nor should families be forced to leave their homes. Make the right choice to emphasize people over companies.

We need to increase research and temporarily reduce fracking until there are reasonable conclusions about its risks

I believe that this is need to help people throughout the survive and thrive but I don't thing that its good to take more than we need because we are destroying the earth that we live on.

In less populated areas and in areas where other more environmentally friendly energy options aren't available

I believe that we should look into more sustainable ways to retrieve these sources but more extensive research should go into finding how to not fully depend on it.

I think yes but we need to find better gas recesses so we don't run out of gas but but idk what fracking is

I believe yes, but because oil and gas are important to the American economy but the way of going about it should be more cautious and environmentally sustainable to ensure longevity of the industry. But more sustainable options should continue to grow and rise

I think that we should start to transition to cleaner energy sources, but we shouldn't shut down everything at once! It's a gradual process.

Yes, but only if fracking can be conducted more safely by employing advanced technologies that improve drilling methods and fluid recovery and adhering to strict environmental requirements

I think we should use renewable energy sources when possible, but I don't think we should completely get rid of fracking.

Yes, but use it in less populated areas and not by a big body of water. I don't recommend doing it anywhere near any source of water because it will pollute the water.

Yes, with appropriate oversight, and a mandated cost of energy equal to the cost to produce energy plus a cost to the environment and cleanup.

Yes, but I do not agree with tearing up the natural beauty of the land and extracting the full source of the natural oil.

Unsustainable energy should be slowly phased out in favor of clean energy, not stopped altogether suddenly.

Yes, and I don't get why we are trying to buy oil from other country's when there is tons of oil in Alaska right now.

Yes, but there should be extended and continuous research of fracking. Also, fracking should not be done in areas with more than 10,000 people and those people should be provided premium resources to avoid negative exposure.

Only for now but when a substitute that is reasonable and reliable is available we should switch to that.

Yes, but we need to find a way to responsibly transition to renewable energy sources rather than banning something without a solution to replace it.

I think we need to improve how much money it takes to buy them so it is cheaper, so that every one can afford it.

Yes, they should continue, though they should definitely take precautions before doing it so that no water or anything gets contaminated.

I feel like we NEED it but it also so hard for us to try not deal with it because we know its bad and limited

Yes, But not in heavily populated areas, and we should still continue to pursue more sustainable energy resources

Not in heavily polluted areas and should be researched. Also, we should find a more sustainable measure.

no they should stop execrating oil and other restores if someone cut down a tree they should plant another one or 3 more.

I think that we can still use fracking, but we should also try to find a more reusable energy source, but for now yes fracking is ok.

Right now it is inevitable since it fuels almost all our transportation, would prefer if there was a more beneficial way to fuel our transportation.

I believe in the three options "Yes, but not in heavily populated areas-
No, we should pursue more sustainable energy resources instead-
No, more research is needed to measure the long term effects of fracking". We could continue with fracking more responsibly until we can find a build powerhouses of sustainable energy nationally.

Yes, but increase oversight/mandates. Also, requiring companies to invest back into more sustainable resources

No, I believe that one of the main reasons we extract oil is to fuel cars, so I feel like we should put more funding in to electric cars

Yes but make sure all wildlife including animals and plants are not there and they are highly protected since we need the money from oil or else our gas will go up.

I'm in between because sometimes its good because they use it for fuel but sometimes it harms the enviroment.

Yes, but increase oversight, and we should prioritize pursuing more sustainable energy resources instead.
