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.
@9FYBN8W7mos7MO
It's far too complicated for one question - until sustainable energy can cover the flex in our energy demands and until the rest of our system is set up to support fully green energy. We can't do without unfortunately.
@9DC5V879mos9MO
I don’t understand this enough to make a decision
@8CS3Z5Y4yrs4Y
Only for public transport and emergency cars. Like ambulance, police cars, fire trucks ect
@9G6ZGZV7mos7MO
Yes but only because it would leave a lot of people unemployed. Alternatives should be introduced and cheap.
No, we should pursue more sustainable energy resources instead That is affordable for low income as well so its accessible to everyone
@9FSJV987mos7MO
Yes for now to avoid importing from overseas, but work on a more sustainable energy resource for the long run
@9F8HWDSNew Zealand Loyal8mos8MO
No we shouldn't frack, there are other ways oil and minerals can be extracted ie drilling mining etc
@9DPJXN78mos8MO
We should explore our natural gas and oil deposits without fracking
@9DLJ43K8mos8MO
If money is reinvested into green energy etc then yes
@9DKQC4XOpportunities8mos8MO
No but yes because our economy is a mess
Yes but only if NZ refines and sells it back to its ppl and not overseas and stops overseas oil coming in. Only if NZ independently supply its own oil.get rid of BP and Shell
@9DFG2TX8mos8MO
No if there is a better alternative that is just as good amd affordable
@9DFBBRVOpportunities8mos8MO
Yes fracking isn’t much worse for environment than other forms of fossil fuel extraction, but we should transition away to renewables.
@9DF84298mos8MO
Not informed enough to make this decision
@9DDHWDQ8mos8MO
No this should be stopped ASAP. its killing the earth. i dont want Future generations to suffer because of us right now.
@9DD8LVS8mos8MO
@9DD7TDW8mos8MO
Yes, but only if New Zealand is positioned to profit more so than offshore interests
I'm really on the fence with this one
@9DBPJ5N9mos9MO
Only if we, NZ benefit in a large way
Yes, but the companies responsible should Effort's to reduce damage and be hevily fined if they cause large ecological damage
@9D9W3N69mos9MO
yes but not to a dangerous extent
@9D9KMSL9mos9MO
Don’t really know what it is
@9D94M94Opportunities9mos9MO
More effort should be made to identify potential future sites to keep in reserve to maintain fuel independence in the future
@9D8WSLZ9mos9MO
Yes but pursue more sustainable energy options
Don’t know enough about this to answer
@9D6YR7X9mos9MO
Not to sure I can comment
Yes, but a percentage of the profit goes into a national fund to be used for public investments.
@9D5Y2LN9mos9MO
Yes but phase out towards nuclear
Mining and drilling for oil but no fracking
No, but if we do need it then I guess
No but it should be phased out gradually
Yes but not in New Zealand
this question is no longer relevant
@9CHQ8DFDemocracyNZ10mos10MO
Yes but In small scale use
No, but it should be phased out gradually over time
@9C7QB54DemocracyNZ11mos11MO
Yes, but it should be slowly fazed out as we invest in cleaner energy.
@9C44SFB11mos11MO
use this whilst finding a better way
@9BXY6T312mos12MO
Yes, but it is a nationalised resource and private companies do not get any say its extraction
@9BX7J5Y12mos12MO
No- it should be phased out slowly
@9BNBCKY1yr1Y
No, bur it should be phased out over tine
@9BKVZMR1yr1Y
No, but it should be phased out over time.
@9BGKT251yr1Y
no, we should Transition to a sustainable solution
@99VQSSJ1yr1Y
Wait until the oil wars have started and get rich, for now have a green image
@98XWNB31yr1Y
No, We need to invest in reliable options like reusing oil
@98S66CT1yr1Y
i don’t know that this means
@98PXPCQ1yr1Y
Hit and gaso with provider as the government alone is apart workers and highway is in process investigation inc
@98PKXL41yr1Y
Increase government alone energy euegenment by power lines belonging by new Zealand labour party inc
