Can’t make your mind up on fracking? Watch this…

In compiling the following information and comment we have had to use reports and data from sources in the USA and Australia simply because the fracking process is virtually unknown in the UK. The real benefit of quoting this material is that it is based on practical knowledge and experience and the research has been carried out by reputable organisations eg. government agencies, university studies and NOT by corporations which have a vested financial interest and little or no experience in the industry

The undesirable side effects of fracking – the health hazards, the pollution of water resources, pollution from leaking wells, pollution from hundreds of lorry journeys per day, atmospheric pollution from venting and flaring of wells, the dangers from extremely toxic (including carcinogenic) waste and the vast amounts of fresh water needed for each well are all well documented. These effects are NOT confined to other countries --they will possibly happen here also. These effects are also irreversible.

MAKE NO MISTAKE FRACKING IS HERE IN THE UK AND WILL AFFECT YOUR LIVES AND THE LIVES OF YOUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN.
