Default Fracking Halted In North Yorkshire
first title:
Fracking Given Green Light In North Yorkshire


[Councillors have approved an
application by a UK company
to frack for shale gas near the
village of Kirby Misperton in North Yorkshire.
Third Energy has become the
first company to be given the
go-ahead for fracking, which
has not taken place in the UK
since 2011.
Five years ago, tests on
the Fylde coast in Lancashire
were found to have been the
likely cause of minor earthquakes in the area.]

They should start this malarkey in the middle of nowhere, not so close to those beautiful villages.

Yet another law sneaked in by the backdoor that hasn't become fully apparent until recently. If this was deliberately hidden from publicity and hushed up rather than being open to public debate then shame on this government.

“Third Energy has been drilling wells and producing gas safely and discreetly from this site in Kirby Misperton for over 20 years and we will continue to maintain the same standards in the future.”

We've never had a voice

The govt are going all out for shale, there's not a lot we can do about it I'm not saying councils were bribed, but that's how it appears to me.

What a shame for the local economy and energy independence if it does not go ahead

This feels like a very bad idea to me. I don't have any science really to go on, just a feeling that the process sounds very bad for the environment.

There is a study not yet published (USA) on the affect on drinking water fracking can have. Once published that will have a big influence one way or tuther. Could be the green light we need in the UK
