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. Critics of fracking say it pollutes underground water supplies with chemicals, releases methane gas into the atmosphere, and can cause seismic activity. Proponents of fracking say it will drop oil and gas prices in Spain and lead to energy independence.
@8YWX5D52yrs2Y
What the hell this mean bruv?
@8YHWBXV2yrs2Y
yes but only in extreme circumstances
ion even know what that is
Deleted3yrs3Y
No it damages the top soil
@8RL9F723yrs3Y
Yes, for the short term while increasing sustainable energy solutions
@98BDS8X1yr1Y
Only where 100% guarantees of no pollution
@97XQ2L31yr1Y
Yes but for Australia not to be shipped off to other countries
@93Q5MVY2yrs2Y
Yes, but in heavily populated areas and stop fracking once national debt is cleared and move on to nuclear energy.
@92M72Q52yrs2Y
Yes but only in areas uninhabited
@8Z7BLG32yrs2Y
No, but it should be legal
Yes it should be done, but it must be highly regulated and not done in a public environment. More use of solar farms is applicable.
@8Z28WVBOne Nation2yrs2Y
No because you loose the top soil
@934554M2yrs2Y
Yes, but we should be looking for/improving renewable energy
Yes, but increase standards, government oversight and penalties for wrong doing.
Have not done enough research
Fracling is obviously needed to provide resources of energy
But fracking also bad for the environment
It is a eithee or situation
I think all citizens in this day and age should get free electric from natrual energy
Eg solar we have it the sun is free but we still get a power bill
Etc....
@8Z8BJMT2yrs2Y
only if its a last option
I've heard fracking is bad but I know nothing about it.
@8NTGJFG3yrs3Y
we should invest into nuclear energy instead
@8H5SJ683yrs3Y
Yes but must be regulated and only as a transition fuel.
@8D2H6GM4yrs4Y
Again, why is this important?
@92XV6DG2yrs2Y
No, Pursue more sustainable energy resources and more research is needed to measure the long term effects of fracking
@8XFFYYV2yrs2Y
I do not have an opinion on this, as I am uneducated on the subject.

Yes, Government shouldnt be involved in approval process. If they damage near by properties they can sue through the courts.
