Don't FRACK Our Future - Doreen's Story

Unconventional gas exploration is threatening Britain and Ireland. Licenses and planning applications have already been granted by the Government with little or no community consultation. The scale of the industrialisation and impacts are never discussed.

This film charts Doreen and John's journey from the shock of the drill rigs arrival to the sickening realisation that their lives and the lives of their family and friends will be profoundly affected. They live in Lancashire within sight of a shale gas well that is scheduled for hydraulic fracturing. Hear more from Doreen here: http://youtu.be/KpL5zbNqthg

Like Doreen and John, individuals and communities across the UK are realising that the only way to stop this industry is to inform and empower their community and stand together for a better future.

Saying "No" to unconventional gas opens up many alternatives. Saying "Yes" or doing nothing leaves us facing a future where we are still dependent on fossil fuels with polluted air and water, and thousands of leaking gas wells across the countryside.

Find out how this will affect you, your family and your community. Find out how you can take action to stop the industrialisation of the countryside, pollution of air and water and plan for a better future. You can make a difference. A strong well organised community is the best defence against this industry.

Yet Another Study Confirms Fracking Wastewater Wells Cause Earthquakes

Trisha Marczak writes at the MintPress News:

For the residents of Youngstown, Ohio, the recent onslaught of earthquakes came as a surprise.
Before the fracking wastewater industry came to Ohio, Youngstown residents didn’t know what an earthquake felt like — their community of 66,000 had never experienced anything like it. Yet by 2011, a year after the industry sprouted up in their backyards, scientists had recorded 109 earthquakes.

The UK autumn budget statement contains a section the chancellor left out of his speech.

The government is going to spend 7 million pounds "engaging" the public in the shale gas issue. In other words, "persuading" the public it's a good idea.

Typical, use OUR money to make us believe it is a good thing to have OUR planet destroyed for THEIR gain.

But then with George on acid nothing should surprise us
