Fracking je proces ekstrakcije nafte ili prirodnog plina iz škriljevca. Voda, pijesak i kemikalije ubrizgavaju se u stijenu pod visokim tlakom koji lomi stijenu i omogućuje otjecanje nafte ili plina u bušotinu. Iako je fracking značajno povećao proizvodnju nafte, postoji zabrinutost za okoliš da taj proces zagađuje podzemne vode. Permski bazen čini 43% američke proizvodnje nafte i trenutno je najproduktivnija rezerva uljnog škriljevca u zemlji. U lipnju 2022. Agencija za zaštitu okoliša objavila je da bi mogla smatrati dijelove permskog bazena u Tek…

Možete li se sjetiti vremena kada je problem zaštite okoliša utjecao na vaš život ili život vaše zajednice i kako to utječe na vaš pogled na fracking?
@ISIDEWITH5 mjeseci5MO
Kad bi prijatelj tvrdio da je fracking neophodan za gospodarski rast, kako biste odgovorili, s obzirom na okoliš i otvaranje radnih mjesta?
@ISIDEWITH5 mjeseci5MO
Mislite li da tehnološki napredak može fracking učiniti sigurnijim i ekološki prihvatljivijim ili bismo se trebali usredotočiti na alternativne resurse?
@ISIDEWITH5 mjeseci5MO
Koju biste promjenu u svom sadašnjem životnom stilu bili spremni učiniti ako bi to značilo smanjenje negativnih učinaka crpljenja energije?
@ISIDEWITH5 mjeseci5MO
Kad biste morali birati između nižih troškova energije ili zaštite okoliša, što biste odabrali i što utječe na vašu odluku?
@ISIDEWITH5 mjeseci5MO
Kako zamišljate idealnu energetsku budućnost i kakvu ulogu u toj viziji imaju neobnovljivi izvori energije?
@ISIDEWITH5 mjeseci5MO
S obzirom na globalnu potražnju za energijom, kako uravnotežiti potrebu za naftom i plinom s potencijalnim rizicima za okoliš?
@ISIDEWITH5 mjeseci5MO
Što mislite, koje bi vrijednosti ili prioriteti trebali voditi naše izbore u proizvodnji energije suočeni s klimatskim promjenama i zašto?
@ISIDEWITH5 mjeseci5MO
Jeste li vi ili netko koga poznajete iskusili bilo kakav izravan utjecaj frackinga, i ako jeste, kakav je to utjecaj?
@ISIDEWITH5 mjeseci5MO
Kako biste se osjećali da je mjesto za frakiranje postavljeno u blizini vaše zajednice i koje brige ili prednosti padaju na pamet?
@P2YQF94 god4Y
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
@P2V3BV4 god4Y
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.
@NVC8SK4 god4Y
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?
@NS5GH54 god4Y
Yes, but there needs to be verifiable evidence that it does not harm the ground water sources before it can be used
@NR6K984 god4Y
Concerns are based on sound evidence. Companies need to be controlled in their pursuit of oil at the expense of h2o and peoples health.
@NPYV654 god4Y
Yes, with greatly increased oversight but while also pursing renewable sources of energy such as solar, hydro, and wind power.
@NMTNJB4 god4Y
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.
@NM4G6B4 god4Y
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.
@NKFHLK4 god4Y
Increase overesight, and scientific monitoring of fracking to determine if the process endangers water supplies, decreases ground stability, or has other harmful environmental effects.
@NJHFVZ4 god4Y
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.
@N3YCMS4 god4Y
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.
