With God on our side...................

The Church of England has now ( rightly ) suggested that fracking 'threatens God's Creation' and as such it is opposed to the process. Read here how it is advising parishioners: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/10240773/Fracking-threatens-Gods-glorious-creation.html

We just need to know now what the National Trust thinks and that should put a stop to it!!!!!

UK - Cuadrilla - a total PR disaster

Read here : http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/aug/11/fracking-botch-on-landscape how Messrs Cuadrilla's disasterous approach to Public Relations could quite easily lead to the nascent industry being snuffed out in the UK in due course. Always assuming that is, that the government's naive and arrogant  support for widespread fracking can be reined in.

Cameron even edgier................

PM tells the nation that it 'must accept fracking for it's own good and that 'damage to the countryside will be minimal'. Right.

Wait a minute......................

We rushed to press yesterday before checking that our new/revised version of A Dozen Devastating Denials - UK version was actually in place at www.schistehappens.com. We apologise for this and will send out a fresh alert just as soon as we have it in place. In the meantime, much of the original document stands so please do check it our.

Facts, data, denials - new document.

Due to the widespread misunderstanding and confusion relating to the true nature of hydraulic fracking or fracturation and it's horrendous ramifications caused largely by mischievous lobbyists and the worsening situation in the UK we have now produced a completely revised version of our Dozen Devastating Denials document entitled A Dozen Devastating Denials - UK. This may be accessed by returning to our home page at : www.schistehappens.com and clicking the link in yellow at the top right of the page which reads: 'Click here to see the old site' and then once on the new page click the clearly marked link with a Union Jack alongside it.

If you like what you see/read(!) PLEASE send to as many friends/contacts as possible. It is vitally important that the lies and exaggerations be challenged.

Preference is for Solar - not fracking.........................

Perhaps the UK PM has been accessing the web pages of Business Green magazine?

A survey shows that 'Three quarters of the UK public agree that government should support solar energy and almost two thirds back the encouragement of wind farms - whilst shale gas remains unpopular'

Cameron 'quaking' over reaction to fracking plans?

First signs of edginess from UK Prime Minister as levels of protest in the UK intensify.................

http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2013/aug/08/fracking-ban-cameron

Now that politicians are coming to understand the full implications of their blanket policy, perhaps for the first time ( several senior ( very ) politicos that we spoke to some months ago had any idea of the full extent of the actual fracking process and one even told us that it could never occur under his house ie he did not understand the HORIZONTAL aspect, nor the distances involved and yet was in a position to influence policy )) it would appear that they are not quite so confident.

Assurances from Mr Cameron of 'safe' or 'adequately regulated' activity simply serve to point up the vacuum. Health and Safety Executive meetings with Messrs Cuadrilla took place as many as five times prior to the Blackpool incidents but not once on site. When a well casing failed in the Fylde the fact was not reported to the authorities for over 5 months. 'Safe'? 'Regulated'.
