Environment: fracking

We watched Josh Fox’s award winning film Gasland on Saturday and learned what terrible health and environment problems had been caused by Fracking in the US. I was shocked to then hear yesterday that George Osborne and the energy companies have announced plans to use this destructive technology all over the UK to extract Shale gas. Shale companies will pay communities £100,000 per well where fracking takes place and 1 per cent of revenues once production starts. Everyone should be informed about the toxic pollution of water and air and the implications it has on life around these wells.
