Fracking companies found by a Greenpeace investigation to be either
wholly or partly owned by entities based in offshore tax havens have today been
issued further fracking licenses by the UK Government.
Yesterday a Greenpeace investigation revealed that 40% of existing
fracking licenses (issued ahead of today’s announcement) were held by companies
linked to tax havens, including Celtique Energy, Cuadrilla, INEOS and Third
Energy.

40% of licenses to frack in the UK are held by companies which are wholly or partly owned in offshore tax havens, a Greenpeace investigation has found.
Analysis also shows that Cuadrilla, one of the UK’s leading shale gas firms,
is majority owned by entities based in offshore tax havens.

Commenting on today's
decision by Lancashire County Council to turn down Cuadrilla's application to
frack at a second site in the region, Greenpeace
UK energy and climate campaignre Daisy Sands said:
“This decision
is a Waterloo for the fracking industry and a triumph for local democracy. It's
also a huge boost for efforts to kick the UK’s addiction to dangerous fossil
fuels. Lancashire councillors deserve huge praise for standing up to the
relentless pressure from the fracking lobby and their minister friends. Their
decision sends a powerful signal to other councils that the fracking juggernaut
can indeed be stopped.

Lancashire county councillors greeted with anti-fracking message today
Another fracking application, another town. I’m not sure the ‘Not For Shale roadshow on tour’ t-shirt is ready to compete yet with the One Direction world tour t-shirt. But we’ve already appeared in Chichester, Midhurst, and today is Thursday so it must be sunny Preston.

Government plans to allow fracking companies to drill
under people’s homes without their permission are set to run into widespread
opposition as a major new poll reveals three quarters (74%) of British people
are against the move.
Nearly three quarters of Tory (73%) and Lib Dem (70%)
potential voters hold the view that energy companies should have to get
permission from owners or residents before drilling for gas under their homes
or land, a YouGov survey published today reveals. Only 13% of respondents said
energy firms should not be required to have this consent.

Commenting on Caroline Lucas MP being cleared of
all charges following a high-profile anti-fracking protest at Balcombe last
year, Greenpeace UK Executive Director John Sauven said:
17 April, 2014
“This verdict is a victory for the right
to peaceful protest but more importantly for Britain’s growing movement of
ordinary people opposing fracking.
“Caroline Lucas had the guts to stand up
for what she believes in. In the age of expense scandals and ‘cab for hire’
politicians, an MP ready to put her neck on the line is a refreshing sight.
