Anyway George Monbiot says fracking will eat the ozone layer and we'll all be boiled to death, or possibly fricasséed.

Totally fracked !

Quote:
The big growth in oil extracted from shale rock means the US will not need to import any crude within two decades, the former boss of BP has said.

Lord Browne told a conference in Oxford the US would be "completely independent of imported oil, probably by 2030".

He also said the amount of shale gas in the US was "effectively infinite".


Quote:
There are also concerns that fracking - which is banned in France and Switzerland - risks polluting water supplies. However, the practice is now widespread in the US.


Do you trust the ex head of BP ?

Whilst back home....

Quote:
Protesters opposed to a gas extraction process called fracking halted test drilling when they invaded the site, Preston Magistrates Court has heard.

Three members of pressure group Frack Off attached themselves to a rig near Southport in November.

Quote:
The Wales Planning Inspectorate (WPI) has allowed test drilling for shale gas in the Vale of Glamorgan to go ahead on Llandow industrial estate.

It follows an appeal by Coastal Oil and Gas, which was refused permission.

The Bridgend firm will now be allowed to proceed with exploratory drilling.

Friends of the Earth Cymru (FoEC) has criticised the decision, saying it paves the way for high-pressure hydraulic fracturing, known as fracking.

We Lancastrians haven't surrendered, we will keep fighting until they frack off.
