Fracking is the process of extracting oil or natural gas from shale rock. Water, sand and chemicals are injected into the rock at high pressure which fractures the rock and allows the oil or gas to flow out to a well. While fracking has significantly boosted oil production, there are environmental concerns that the process is contaminating groundwater.
@ISIDEWITH9yrs
No, we should pursue more sustainable energy resources instead
@92JXK3J7mos
In the short term, but begin to slowly transition to cleaner alternatives.
@93G2RP78mos
Yes, as long as it doesn't damage the environment or water supplies
@93CS3TH8mos
Yes. Fracking is a better alternative to coal
@8QQ5NLZ10mos
No, research has concluded that fracking is harmful to the population and environment
@7PTCG3811mos
Yes, but only with increased oversight and not in heavily populated areas
@7NHW7HN11mos
Yes, but we should still pursue safer ways of resourcing
Deleted12mos
Yes, but with more oversight and rigorous adherences to safety procedures to prevent and manage accidents, since fracking leads to environmental or health issues. There should be more research to measure the long-term effects it has on the environment, and on human health.

Yes, but more oversight and rigorous following of safety procedures is needed to prevent and manage the risk of accidents that could cause harm, since fracking leads to environmental or health issues. There should be more research to measure the effects it has on the environment, and on human health.

Yes, but increase regulations and oversight, and provide more scientific research to measure the effects it has, short and long-term, on us and to the environment. However, if it keeps getting worse, then phase it out and move towards better energy sources, such as nuclear and renewable energy.

Yes, but increase oversight to avoid oil spills, and find a way to continue the process in such a way where it possess no threat to the environment.
@8XWRJ7H1yr
Yes, but regulations and oversight should be put in place to make sure that the environment and wildlife are not harmed.
@8WWSZZX1yr
Yes, until we can find other renewable resources.
@8PD23XN1yr
Yes, but increase oversight and use it only when absolutely necessary, we need to get closer to being 100% green energy.
@6LV5ZML1yr
Yes, but only in areas where it is deemed low-risk to the population and environment.
@WolferusYT1yr
Yes, but we should be working towards cleaner energy resources in order to eventually eliminate the need for it.
@8QYJ7B51yr
Yes, but only to extract natural gas with increased oversight
@8TFWF2Z2yrs
Yes, but we should pursue more sustainable energy resources with a goal of eventually transitioning away from this practice
@8RBQDDP2yrs
Yes, as long as it is done in safe ways that does not harm the environment
@8SMKCCQ2yrs
It has a place in our world whether we like it or not, it's too big to fail
@8SJW8492yrs
Yes, but implement a tax on fracking.
@8SF6R492yrs
I do not think fossil fuels are good, but so many people have jobs in fossil fuels.
@7PTCG382yrs
Yes, but not in heavily populated areas and continue to pursue more sustainable energy resources.
@8S23F2Z2yrs
do not know enough on the topic
@8RPZ3MP2yrs
Yes, but we should invest in more environmentally friendly energy sources such as nuclear energy instead
@8RJFWXB2yrs
No, we should use our resources to research sources of energy such as fusion
@8R8DHKJ2yrs
Yes, but only until we adapt a more sustainable source of energy
@8QKJ7R92yrs
No, fracking uses fabric softener and other chemicals harmful to the wildlife
@8QM9QMR2yrs
i do not have enough information to conduct a stance.
@8QG5XSM2yrs
as long as they are held 100% reliable for anything that happens
@86LT58K2yrs
Yes, but apply appropriate oversight, no subsidies, and mandate cost of energy = cost to produce energy + cost to environment/cleanup .
@TogetherinSoli12yrs
No, the importance of fossil fuels in today's society should be recognised, but we should move towards more sustainable energy
@86NBM3N2yrs
Yes, but phase-out of it in the coming years
@8PMF46F2yrs
No, we should pursue more sustainable energy resources and conduct research to measure the long-term effects of domestic fracking
@8PK69PX2yrs
Companies should be able to decide what path is best for them and the government should not be involved at all.
@8PJHVJN2yrs
Yes, drill, baby drill and nationalize this industry.
@8FG75SF2yrs
Yes, we should pursue more sustainable energy resources instead, but so long as oversight is increased it is a practical way to produce energy.
@8NXSCW22yrs
Yes, with the condition that we are actively moving towards renewable energy.
@8MF2Z5Q2yrs
Yes but there should be less of it.
@6PJZCMJ2yrs
No, but it should not be banned.
@8KX67Q92yrs
Yes, but not new permissions on federal land and we should incentivize alternate energy resources.
@8JZHKVX2yrs
While this process currently has a merit to society, I believe we should take measures to distance ourselves from the process at large. An emphasis on renewables and nuclear energy should be society's goal going forward.
@8JXC6F82yrs
only if it doesent hurt the enviorment
@4SKVPWD2yrs
Yes, but the industry needs to find safety ways to use this technology.
@8HXVBHG2yrs
i dont anything about this topic
@8HW56ZF2yrs
No because doing that it makes it unnatural
