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

No, but I think that we can use it since it seems helpful but the cost is very pricey and the government will need to figure the money out without raising taxes or other things that harms citizens.

We should use another tool because it’s tools could pollute the environment so maybe more environmental friendly ones are better

No because hydraulic fracking is very harmful to our environment and there's better ways to extract oil. Such as this one dude on youtube who learned how to make oil out of plastic.

It is bad for the environment, but I understand the economic benefits of mineral exploitation and the affects that we have on foreign and domestic markets.

At this current state and time yes I support it, however once technology that reduces or removes the need for these fuels is invented then I will appose fracking, and no I don't mean the current electric cars that we have now as those are still largely ineffective and are significantly more expensive than gas cars

I think it is what they need to do to get gas easily but at the same time if it is seriously harming the earth, I then think that they need to find something new.

Pros and cons to everything in life just figure out the long term effects but dont stop the people from making money , dont make a bigger problem make a solution to keep money flowing and humans safe.

our society was build on oil, and cannot be removed so easily, but efforts should be made to find new energy in the future

No. However, let's boost efforts to make sure that the process is environmentally friendly and look for alternatives if needed

Yes, but not in heavily populated areas in order to keep the citizens living in the area safe and also plan to end this when mostly everyone can afford renewable energy.

No, because it creates long-term problems for communities which would deplete what ever savings was made in the long run with long lasting negative effects.

Yes, but ensure the drilling is done properly to not contaminate water sources. Any and all contamination will be cause for enacting tort law.

I believe that we need to pressure more sustainable energy and identify and research the long term effects of fracking

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, 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

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.

I am more in the middle, I am ok with fracking in low population areas but we should start changing to more renewable energy

Yes, until we can invest in alternative and more environmentally friendly energy resources. In addition, the toxic chemicals used for fracking should be replaced with safer alternatives.

I do not support fracking, and I believe it needs to. be rapidly phased out.

In terms of "passing. judgment" on states and local efforts, I. think. there ought to. be. a group/commission of knowledgeable. people--both. climate. scientists and, e.g., community/urban planners and community health specialists, environmentalists. and. related indigenous peoples at both the federal and state level .

No. Not only do we need full disclosure and regulation of anything pumped into the ground like this, but consider: ** THIS IS A LITERAL BOND MOVIE VILLAIN PLOT!** Pump water into the ground to cause earthquakes. Bond movie.

Yes, but increase oversight So that the Fracking process is not taking place near population centers. Also there also needs to be more research is needed to measure the long term effects of fracking.

Yes, but only as a temporary fix while we convert to using geothermal heating and electric cars and appliances

Not enough knowledge to provide an answer.

Yes, but continue further research, and regulate it

Oil and gas are going to cause the extinction of this planet, we need to move to a more sustainable kind of energy, like Solar power. Solar Power is the most optimal solution for the power crisis as the sun literally is a giant ball of energy, and it is infinite.

Whether the government should provide tax credits and subsidies for the wind power industry is a subject of ongoing debate, with arguments focusing on the potential benefits of promoting clean energy, economic development, and energy independence versus concerns about cost to taxpayers, market distortion, and the grid's reliability and stability. Proponents argue subsidies are vital to accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels and achieve climate goals, while opponents contend they create dependency, increase costs, and undermine the long-term viability of the industry by reducing…  Read more the incentive for true cost-competitiveness and innovation.
Arguments in favor of subsidies:
Combating Climate Change:
.
Subsidies incentivize the adoption of clean energy technologies, which is seen as crucial for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and combating global warming.
Economic Growth and Job Creation:
.
Supporters argue that these incentives stimulate investment, create jobs, and drive economic growth within the renewable energy sector.
Energy Independence:
.
By supporting domestic wind energy, subsidies can reduce reliance on foreign energy sources and enhance national energy security.
Market Acceptance:
.
Tax credits and subsidies help lower the net project costs for consumers and encourage broader market acceptance of renewable energy technologies.
Achieving Policy Objectives:
.
Incentives like those in the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) can encourage investments that also support other policy goals, such as paying prevailing wages, using apprentices, or sourcing domestic materials.
Arguments against subsidies:
Cost to Taxpayers:
Subsidies can be a significant financial burden on taxpayers, with projected costs reaching hundreds of billions of dollars.
Market Distortion:
Opponents argue that subsidies create artificial demand and prevent wind power from achieving true market competitiveness, leading to an inefficient allocation of resources.
Grid Instability:
Some experts suggest th

This is a big question to think about. There are alot of questions and facts I'm unaware of. I want to say I agree with it because I know I don't agree with going all electric which I think is what would happen of we baned this.

Yes, but increase oversight; fracking must be restricted from any geographical areas containing water sources (preventing local water contamination) and a minimal of 75 miles area any from residential area of any city (reducing air pollution in within the Common Area)

If people in those areas don't mind earthquakes and the potential harm that results from fracking, frack away, away from me.

fracking is going to use up all of our clean drinking water resources and devastate natural environments such as forests and marshes so no unless you'd rather die of dehydration or from falling into a sinkhole I would never agree with fracking

Yes, but not as a long-term method of energy acquisition. We should continue to research its effects while pioneering more sustainable methods, and end fracking when those sustainable methods are more energy efficient.

I would pursue more sustainable energy sources instead, but I would not mind fracking in mild locations and not excessive

Yes, but increase oversight So that the fracking is not in heavily populated areas and also so that more research can be put in to measure the long term effects of fracking.

Yes, but we should also be working to pursue a more sustainable source. But it would not hurt to keep fuel as a backup plan.

Yes, but we need a plan to extricate our economy from fossil fuel dependency.

Slowly decrease fracking, and switch to a more reliable energy source

yes, it can become more environmentally friendly

gasoline isn't a sustainable source, there can be motors that run on water instead which is much more sustainable

Yes, but do more research and adjust policies as we go

Yes, but with strict regulation and temporarily until clean energy becomes widespread

Privatize fracking.

Yes, but we should pursue more sustainable and more environmentally friendly energy sources instead

I don't even remember what that is.

Yes, but research alternative energy to eventually work towards a fracking-free future

Yes, but we should pursue more sustainable and cleaner energy resources.

yes but we should slowly move into healthier energy. but not instantly because it will be caotic.

yes, given appropriate measures to protect the environment

Yes, until more sustainable energy resources are established.

Yes, but only until we have the ability to switch over to more sustainable energy resources

Do not feel educated enough on the topic to provide a valid opinion of it.

Yes, We should encourage switching from coal to NLG, but also support renewable

Increase oil and natural gas production to help strengthen economy. Use economic growth through oil and gas to fund greener, sustainable, and soon cheaper alternatives.

Tax carbon instead and dramatically increase the amount of fines the company must pay in the event of an accident.

No, but phase it out slowly to avoid gas price increasing.

Yes, but we should prioritize nuclear, solar and other low carbon energy sources.

Yes, but continue to pursue more ecologically friendly practices.

In their current state of extracting, no I do not support it. Companies and governments should seek better and more efficient ways of fracking. Ways that are better for the environment, and much less harmful.

Yes, but not in heavily populated areas and put funding to more sustainable energy resources instead

Other energy sources should be pursued, but until that is a plausible solution, franking should continue

No, we should pursue more sustainable energy resources instead. Using nuclear that is not radioactive that can be separated and not cause another world scare.

Monitor the long term effects and do what we need

i think we should be able too but to a certian extent we are waisting fossel fuel on stupid things when we have more ways of transpertation.

I choose no sides because I lack the necessary knowledge to determine whether or not it is harmful or not.

Yes, but not in large quantities, research still needs to be done on more sustainable energy resources

I would need to do more research but I think we should do more research to really know the severity of fracking

I neither support or don't support

I fracking love fracking.

Neither, it doesn't really affect me.

It may be profitable and all, but oil that's put in our cars and stuff only polluted the air so I'm going to have to say no on this one.

Yes, but more studies should be done to see if it contaminates water.

Yes, but only after a thorough geologic investigation and ecologic oversight.

No, fracking should be banned immediately

Yes, but increase oversight, and we should pursue more sustainable energy resources.

Yes, but only wells that are already in operation. No new fracking wells at this time.

Theres pros and cons

No, more safer ways for fracking should be looked into instead we focus on nuclear energy

yes until we figure something else out

Yes, with a caviat that if franking causes undue harm fines be astronomical

I never heard of this before, so I basically dont mind or care.

Only after environmental concerns have been rectified and increased supervision regulations have been established

Yes, but more research should be done to gain more environmental safeties and efficiency

We should invest in nuclear energy.

I honestly have no idea what this even is.

Yes, as long it is done in a safe manner that does not harm the environment

I don;t support it and i'm not against it.

Yes, but increase oversight so that it doesn't contaminate groundwater. Also invest in more clean & sustainable energy resources as well

Yes but not in overpopulated areas or areas that are protected

No but do it right

I support providing more incentives for alternative energy production to create new jobs instead, people have to put food on the table and you can not just end jobs.

Yes, while we pursue better alternatives

Yes for now. But in the future no.

no, but we should research the long term effects and increase efforts in finding sustainable energy resources as well

Yes, but not in heavily populated areas and we should also increase oversight.
