People with a population centre that isn't atop a known and historically active fault (such as Basel), people that are already living in a geologically active fault zone such that risks introduced by fracking are dwarfed by straddling the "ring of fire" already.

The stress on 'informed' is because it many countries it's rare for industry to be open (or forced to be open) with the wider public and rare for the wider public to have an effective say in such decisions.



I guess you're hinting towards Switzerland special voting system :)
