Agree

Yes, but not in heavily populated areas

Some Libertarians may support this position as a way to balance property rights and the potential negative effects of fracking on communities.

Slightly disagree

Yes, but increase oversight

While some Libertarians may acknowledge the need for oversight in certain industries, they generally oppose government intervention and regulation. Increasing oversight would be seen as government interference in the energy industry, which goes against Libertarian principles. However, this score is not as negative as others because some Libertarians may see a need for minimal oversight to protect property rights and the environment.

Disagree

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

Libertarians generally oppose government intervention in the market, so they would likely not support delaying fracking for more research. However, some Libertarians may have concerns about the environmental impact of fracking and could be open to further research.
