NEW ATTEMPTS TO ACHIEVE UK FRACKING updated 16 Dec., 2015


UPDATED 16 Dec., 2015

Unbelievable but true the MPs have voted  today 298 to 286 for fracking under National Parks.  Although it is 1200m below but the ground-water will be contaminated.

Nature is so fragile and can be unbalanced easily. As for blasting huge amount of chemical water in, building nearby huge roads for being able to transport 250 lorries a day in and out and not knowing where the contaminated water will be disperse it must have a tremendous impact on Nature. All in all in a National Park area.

No way they can deny that.

SGTF (Shale Gas Task Force) states, only to win the public over, that it will create thousands of jobs. This catch phrase had been played too often and at the end it proven wrong or a lie to begin with. 

That it would create a number of jobs there is no doubt but it would cause more damage to the environment forever which makes it not worthwhile.

Greenpeace criticised it two days after the Paris climate deal: “Whatever planet the UK fracking lobby inhabits, it can’t be the same one where world leaders just reached a historical deal that puts fossil fuels on the wrong side of history.  If the UK government is really committed to keeping the end of the Paris deal; it must rethink its support for fracking and back safe, cheap energy instead.”

The SGTF do not talk about how they going to ruin the country side forever.

They never state the chemicals they blast into it which will ruin the groundwater. When they done it in Blackpool it caused a earthquake.

They never speak of the amount of groundwater they use and contaminate with chemicals and where they are putting the contaminated water?

UK has already severe shortage of water.

They speak of property prices in the effected area is uncertain which is a white wash because everybody knows that it would drop in value drastically.

Who do they think they can blindfold? The public is not stupid, a fact that the Government nor the fracking companies will accept.

The Government again, can fund the carbon capture and storage technology, but could not back the Steel Industry.

There had been new regulations but no matter how many; the public is fully aware that it causes nothing but endless damage in various forms.

There is enough evidence from Canada and the USA of the damage it caused. How can the task force state that fracking can be done safely in the UK?

Who are they trying to kid?

The public is so up in arms that PM David Cameron sees no other way but to take the decisions out of the councils’ hands and transferred it to Westminster just to get his will.

Mr Cameron’s leadership getting more and more dictatorial also with other decisions.
