This statistic shows the level of support for fracking as an energy source in Great Britain, despite the possibility of increased hosepipe bans, according to the results of a YouGov survey from July 2018. Of those surveyed, 14 percent of 50 to 64 year olds would still support fracking even if there were more frequent hosepipe bans in the future.
If fracking meant more frequent hosepipe bans in the future would that make you more or less likely to support fracking as an energy source or would it make no difference?**
*1,405 English Adults from a sample of 1,636 Great Britain adults **Question originally phrased as "New research suggests that fracking could actually contribute
to hosepipe bans and water shortages as it uses large quantities of water to extract gas. If fracking meant more frequent hosepipe bans in the future would that make you more or less likely to support fracking as an energy source or would it make no difference?"
