你是否支持使用水力压裂法的开采石油和天然气资源？

If a friend argued that fracking is essential for economic growth, how would you respond, considering both the environment and job creation?

Do you think technological advancements can make fracking safer and more environmentally friendly, or should we focus on alternative resources?

What is a change you would be willing to make to your current lifestyle if it meant reducing the negative impacts of energy extraction?

If you had to choose between lower energy costs or environmental protection, which would you pick, and what informs your decision?

How do you envision the ideal energy future, and what role does non-renewable energy play in that vision?

Considering the global demand for energy, how do you balance the need for oil and gas with the potential risks to the environment?

What values or priorities do you think should guide our energy production choices in the face of climate change and why?

Have you or someone you know experienced any direct impact from fracking, and if so, what was that impact?

How would you feel if a fracking site was set up near your community, and what concerns or benefits come to mind?

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.
