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

Yes, but increase regulation 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 the problem keeps getting worse, then phase it out and move towards better energy sources, such as nuclear and renewable energy.

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.
