Views on it please. Spare the boring puns.
I've Cuadrilla's site near my house and it's s nightmare. I've never been a tree hugging crusty type but after going down and talking to the lorry surfers who stayed up there for 86 hours I applaud them. I've also seen some very brutal policing by outside police forces( Heddlu, Cumbria and Norh Yorks) against passive protesters. I'm not trying to convert anyone on here but I hope you all never get a drill site in your neighbourhood. |

A career long involvement in hydrocarbon exploration gives me a better than average understanding of the benefits and potential hazards of Fracking operations....
My personal opinion is we would do well to resist the temptation to develop wide scale Fracking on a land mass the size of the UK where the population density is highly dependant on its fresh water supply .....
The concerns about earthquakes are overly exaggerated but the danger to subterranean water table is sufficiently significant and can not be easily rectified once contaminated...
We still have more than sufficient offshore hydro carbon reserves to exploit albeit with a continuing investment in the technology needed to develop previously less economical fields...
The advancement and development in alternate energy sources is accelerating at a rate that could potential render the need for fracking an environmental risk we could have avoided
That's what I think ....

Should never be allowed here in UK. Learn from the facts rather than fucking our underground water systems for some gas. Just like everything bleed mother nature dry and not think of the consequences. Well the dafties are in charge. Would have been a time people might have stopped this, but sadly very few seem to care now, which why seems to just be going ahead all over the place  |

i hardly think the potential risk to a clean water supply is a 'small' problem.
and as for your point, what do you suggest should be done? |

looking st an inuse site is going to give you a bad impression for nearly all natural resource collection but its cosmetic and will be cleaned during shutting down the site.
The ground water risks and our very small landmass size i think make it so thst in the UK we have to be very careful where we do it.
we have to plan in future population expansion.
If there are areas we can frack without affecting the water tables of areas that will foreseeibly need them then I say go for it.
But site choice is important

I spent over five years of my life protesting cuadrilla amongst others, the sad bit is we actually won in Lancashire!.
Police sometimes get a bit uperty but the real fun is always had with the private security firms (a mix of local hard nuts, ex criminals and the educated polite "face").
In an argument on here a few years back somebody rattled out the usual central govt bollocks of yes but there's regulations and the gov have a special clause to overturn any "suspect" decisions... Yes I said and they'll use that clause to overturn local defeats... And
Voila, there you have it.

Nope I'm on a roll .....
There is a misconception expounded by those in favour of Fracking whereby they claim it will create local jobs and stimulate the local economy ....
Once the process of Drilling and Fracking has taken place and production well heads installed a mostly transient workforce who will move on leaving in most cases an unmanned secured compound which is monitored remotely and maintained by a small team that services a number of similar sites ....
The disruption inflicted on local communities during the drilling stage will be antisocial to say the least due to the volume of heavy traffic required to provide drilling crews with the equipment and chemicals used during the development phase of the operation....
Sounds better all the time eh!

I'm heartened by a lot of the replies on here. Usually get fuck off tree hugger, or get a job comments in other forums( I work and pay taxes). I just can't articulate well enough how awful the site looks from my home(nimby). I hope non of you ever get one near you. Home insurance won't cover against it. The field has a 30 year lease to Cuadrilla and the farmer who sold the lease has put it in his wife's name under a new company. If it does go belly up Cuadrilla will probably have been wound up long before.
Happy fucking not fracking too you all. |

Cuadrilla is just piss ant company anyhow, it's a shell for the big boys because they KNOW FOR SURE how much compensation they will have to fork or otherwise.
Its financed from holding companies in the Virgin isles and various other places, tens of millions of pounds a year and never seen one penny of profit!
And any time it goes belly up, poof disappears and leaves you well and truly in the shit.
I'm afraid they all learnt from the BP gulf fiasco which almost nearly bankrupted them except for some very dodgy decisions by that left wing bastion Barack Obama?.
Oh by the way... The gulf is still well and truly fucked and lethal in areas |

According to the fracking companies own data (which is absolute bollocks  ).
9% of Wells will fail regardless of regulations...
Since the 70s theres been a huge under investment in New reservoirs, population gone up up up up and to counter this the water companies now use bore hole water to top it up, bored from aquifers which run miles and miles underground and which your well head failures WILL pollute.
.
Good luck drinking your radioactive water |

A couple of years back when I was studying, one of the papers included a case study on fracking, but mainly looking at the supply chain. It was the first time I looked into fracking; but the main thing that struck me was the sheer amount of water that is used to to keep the fissures open (if memory serves).
From the research that we did and the information that was provided; the risks of earthquakes was very much divided in opinion, but the water use is not in dispute so I find it somewhat surprising that this has not been picked up by the environmental campaigners.

One main issue is that these companies come in, extract, ruin our land - make profit and leave the people with the mess, potential long term costs and damage - then will be nowhere to be seen. Our loss, no gain to us and their short term gain.
This government should not have been elected to fuck its citizens over, for the benefit of the few. |

Ah I just wondered, as I said there was very little mentioned on it when I was looking into fracking, and even mentioning it in the classroom it was kind of dismissed. |

No not really, its just telling the average Joe is pointless, most people are under the illusion that because it rains alot here were awash with water.. And that's not even close to reality.
Fresh water actually is one of the most precious resources in the world and far from abundant most aquifers were formed by the ice age pushing fresh water deep underground in trapped Wells, they don't refill when it rains, there not groundwater, when there gone there gone just like oil or gas |

Why is it so few seem to care in real world and on here about our water? And how fraking will just fuck the underground water. A lot of these areas I've noted use deep bore water sources. Its very troubling that some parts of the UK this American company should be approved to operate. Given the data on the same company fucking water all over america.
What the fuck are these idiots at Westminster thinking allowing something proved unsafe damaging the natural environment and balance of water.. if we not doing enough harm already. Destruction of our environments, at the very heart of all our existences... our bloody water.
I feel quite sorry for anyone dwelling in an area they doing or plan for tap. I wish the country would stand together a bit more and stop this fraking. Britain surely can do better than this shit.

there's nothing like negative equity caused by a toxic slick of localised industrial effluent in your back garden to sharpen the minds of the belligerently cynical right wing toss-pots into becoming a huggers of trees ... there will be tears before fracking is put to bed in this country, but by then it will be too late |

what is disturbing and no research has been done as deemed irrelevant and no risk is that deep underground
the uk experiences 200 to 300 earthquakes a year , too deep for us to notice but what if the the fracking connected into them them and created a chain then we would experience an earthquake of around 6 on the scale
its deemed this would never happen
like the titanic they said could never sink |

The consequences are not immediately felt but the gov/local cash is!.
It's hard for a poor/working person to say no.
Chernobyl "officially" killed 50 odd people, anybody with a modicum of sense knows that the thousands of deaths will follow 10,20 or 30 years later, practically unprovable that your bowel, stomach, liver, pancreas etc cancer could be linked!... Fracking won't be any different |

TBH, I've no problem with it, with my limited knowledge.. There was a fracking site just down the road in Banks and I say go for it..
We need the resources, we should maybe look into not breeding as many kids, that's one way of reducing our consumption, imo..
House is insured and I've bigger things to worry about.. |

I don't have limited knowledge of Fracking ....
I have a long an involved careers-worth of experience in the process and could easily railroad this thread with technical detail that would serve little purpose other than spoil a interesting debate where people are welcome to express their opinions ....
Successive Labour and Conservative governments have eased the path to exploit licensed land based Fracking clearly demonstrating their priority is focused on the immediate economy rather than the long term welfare of the population ....
Personally I think that is shameful

The other week we drove past the fracking site you mention near Preston on our way to St Anne's. The amount of houses all along the route displaying signs against the fracking company was quite simply heartbreaking.
These local people with the support of environmentalists and many others had a court ruling overturned. It's scandalous.
The work has started in one of the most beautiful stretches of Lancashire. There is a real rural feel to this part of the journey between Preston and Blackpool. Totally ruined now by roadworks, fences, huge lorries and dirt all over the road.
This is what our visitors will see, not the plush green countryside that surrounds England's biggest tourist resort.
I honked my horn in support of the protesters. I'd do it time and time again.
A real blow for the people of Lancashire and the whole justice system. It stinks

That's very sad. I didn't know about that a court ruling was over turned, but then nothing surprises me when it comes to profits over the environment.
I haven't watched TV in over 20 years and therefore I guess are some things around UK I dont hear about as a result. I knew nothing of something going a head in an area, that it appears from your post and from now having looked on the net about it, that no one in these areas wants it, yet its gone or going ahead.
Its a shame the people of the UK couldn't stand together on this one, even though it might not be on your doorstep at present. Having seen a report and map showing areas planned for future extraction. Are the people at the top that thick and stupid. What the fucks the environment minister not put stop to this. Why didn't the water boards fight this one in some areas.
Wish was more I could do, but like so much, one is helpless, the pen is not mighty in the case of fracking, its just a shame people can't stand by the sword any more |

I knew nothing of something going a head in an area, that it appears from your post and from now having looked on the net about it, that no one in these areas wants it, yet its gone or going ahead.
Its a shame the people of the UK couldn't stand together on this one, even though it might not be on your doorstep at present. Having seen a report and map showing areas planned for future extraction. Are the people at the top that thick and stupid. What the fucks the environment minister not put stop to this. Why didn't the water boards fight this one in some areas.
Wish was more I could do, but like so much, one is helpless, the pen is not mighty in the case of fracking, its just a shame people can't stand by the sword any more "

Well Cuadrilla be getting a full mail box haha thanks to ones friends in china think everyone should take the time to sign this wonderful company up for every email promotion offer and spammmm sign up in existence
If only we had the internal email list sign everyone up for well everything.
Wonder if the director would like to try a new adult nappy out.
Anyone have any return envelopes for the company?
Is only if you get a return envelope you can return those box of bricks to them. Stick those bricks or other items you want to give them in a box. Tape it up..stick the return envelope to the box. Drop it off at post office. The company pays the postage as its a prepaid envelope
get all your local community to do it and give them a brick full |

thats a wonderful response! the US seem, though obviously far bigger place, and maybe because its bigger, people are often more locally political..have a history of civil action of this type..and it works surprisingly often... so, whats the address?

"looking st an inuse site is going to give you a bad impression for nearly all natural resource collection but its cosmetic and will be cleaned during shutting down the site.
The ground water risks and our very small landmass size i think make it so thst in the UK we have to be very careful where we do it.
we have to plan in future population expansion.
If there are areas we can frack without affecting the water tables of areas that will foreseeibly need them then I say go for it.
But site choice is important

Britain is one of the most densely populated islands on the planet, - nowhere is there thousands of square miles of unpopulated wilderness. |
