I didn't notice that my predictive text changes fracking to cracking 😁 The most significant aspect is that Lancashire County Council were wholly opposed especially as they're broke! If the positives outweighed the negatives they'd have been there with their hands up shouting 'yes please' Another example of gov.UK pretending to listen and going ahead regardless. Anyway, I agree that lower energy bills are the least likely outcome. One of the more likely outcomes is the release of radon into water and the atmosphere. Yeah, we all want that.

Theresa May said (at the conference) that this government would be a democratic government for everybody. Everyone except the people of Lancashire,it seems. The people,and the local councils in Lancashire voted against fracking. The government are going to do it anyway. They are willing to risk damaging the planet for a stop gap, temporary solution to the fuel problem. No one knows what the long term effects will be,of pumping chemicals into the earth to flush out the gas. Chemicals could (probably will) get into the water table,affecting grazing animals and humans.To say nothing of what happens to aquatic life in rivers and streams. Fracking is a disaster.Look what happened when it was trialled in the Fylde area.There was an earthquake.

Radon is usually locked into granite underneath us Cornwall has such a supposed radon problem, well it provoked a lot of entrepreneurs wanting to fit expensive systems in everyone's properties to "deal" with this problem. With all the tin an copper mining that's gone on there for centuries it doesn't seem to have caused great problems

I have some credentials already as I went on the Stop the War march and my good friend's mother was one of the Greenham Common women. Now where did I put those sandals.....?
