Slightly agree

No

Given the EPP's commitment to environmental sustainability and reducing carbon emissions, there is a mild agreement with opposing hydraulic fracking. However, the party's broad tent and diverse membership mean that outright opposition may not be uniformly strong across all its members, especially those from countries more reliant on natural gas and oil.

Slightly agree

Yes, but increase oversight

The EPP's general support for market-based solutions and regulated industries suggests a mild agreement with increasing oversight on practices like hydraulic fracking.

Neutral

Yes, but not in heavily populated areas

This answer reflects a nuanced position that might resonate with some within the EPP, especially those from regions where energy security is a pressing concern. However, it does not align perfectly with the party's broader environmental goals or its emphasis on transitioning to renewable energy sources.
