Fracking Stages, Fracking Impacts & Underground Coal Gasification Infographics
Fracking in the UK is currently a speculative activity. The companies involved aim to gather enough data and make enough progress, then sell out to a much bigger company that has the money to drill thousands of wells needed for full scale production.
Communities across the UK can see the devastation caused by the industry in the U.S. where 100,000 of these fracking wells have been drilled in the last decade and now find that their community is potentially facing the same threat; industrialisation, health impacts, vast quantities of harmful toxic waste, severe localised air, noise and light pollution, and the potential for long-term groundwater contamination.
The single most significant factor in what happens next is the community response in your area. With 60% of the UK made available to fracking companies and around 10 million acres of the UK already licensed this is a threat to us all.
