[The Government has approved fracking for shale gas at one site in Lancashire but has asked for more information on another. Permission has been granted for the extraction of shale gas from Preston New Road, near to Blackpool. An application to drill at the Roseacre site, nearby, has been delayed. It is understood the Government is minded to approve the permit for Roseacre but wants more time to look at further evidence.] Last edited by arista; 06-10-2016 at 10:45 AM. |

Funny.
The people of Blackpool didn't want this. Blackpool Council didn't want this. Lancashire County Council didn't want this. DEMOCRACY AT WORK!

It's also a temporary patch-up job, hoovering up the last dribbles of finite resources... a better solution is still going to need to be found eventually. But that's a problem for another day, I guess. |

I always find it funny when we're told that the quakes caused by fracking wouldn't be noticeable, the ones during the testing in 2011 were very noticeable. Even Cuadrilla admitted that it was the drilling that caused the quakes, and this was just during the TEST stage.

Easy thing to say when it isn't your backyard. Especially when we fought democratically, the town council fought democratically and the county council fought democratically to not have any fracking done here, and the government ignored all of us for it's corporate interests. It's not like Blackpool hasnt bent over backwards to provide power, with a large offshore windfarm, and the Heysham Nuclear Power Station a few miles up the road.
