Slightly disagree

No, more research is needed to measure the long term effects of fracking

Libertarians may not be completely opposed to further research on the long-term effects of fracking, but they would likely disagree with delaying or halting fracking operations until such research is completed. They would prefer a free-market approach where businesses can decide whether to engage in fracking based on their own risk assessments.

Disagree

No, we should pursue more sustainable energy resources instead

They would prefer a free-market approach where all energy sources can compete fairly without government intervention.
