fracking
Last edited 19 June 2014 at 5:29pm
In response to comments from the NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen on Russia, Environmental NGOs and fracking, a Greenpeace spokesperson said:
"Greenpeace had thirty of its
people locked up in Russian prisons last year, threatened with fifteen years in
jail. The idea we’re puppets of Putin is so preposterous that you have to
wonder what they’re smoking over at NATO HQ. Mr Rasmussen should spend less
time dreaming up conspiracy theories and more time on the facts. Fracked gas
will probably cost more than Russian imports, there’s little chance fracking will
generate more than a small fraction of Europe’s gas needs and it won’t even do
that for at least ten years.

If you live in (or near) the South Downs and care about how fracking could impact the area, here's a guide to how you can take part in the latest public consultation. Read on for a step by step guide and a few talking points. And importantly please remember to have your comments sent in by 5PM on Thursday 22 May, as that's when the consultation closes.

Last month we found out that the government is cooking up plans to strip homeowners and tenants of their legal right to deny permission to companies that want to frack directly underneath their property. If every English person’s home is their castle, then government ministers are currently digging a tunnel underneath the ramparts to let the frackers in.
