Fracking companies now own licenses across Yorkshire. Join the fight today!
The scale of the threat of Shale Gas in Yorkshire should not be underestimated. Rathlin Energy and Third Energy, two conventional oil and gas companies, have drilled deep wells to explore the eastern side of the Bowland Shale. Both companies have used used stealth to pursue their fracking endeavours and both now have plans to […]
Shale gas and coal bed methane extraction both contaminate water supplies
AN independent report commissioned by the Coal Seam Gas Compliance Unit has for the first time revealed that it is possible for gas from CSG development to compromise water bores, despite there being no decline in a bore’s water level. The report was prepared by independent hydrologists Klohn Crippen Berger after the Departmentof Natural Resources’ […]
Study raises safety concerns for the country’s 36,000 fracking disposal sites.
A new study from the University of Missouri (MU) has reported high levels of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in the surface water near a fracking wastewater disposal facility in West Virginia, raising concerns if similar cases are occurring nationwide given the country’s 36,000 fracking disposal sites.

It’s not just waste-water injection causing earthquakes…
New research suggests that hydraulic fracking of oil and gas wells is behind earthquakes caused by humans in Western Canada. A study, published Tuesday by a group of top Canadian researchers, says problems in Alberta and British Columbia aren’t being caused by injecting waste water underground. It’s a major step in understanding seismic events that […]
Thousands of wells, millions of gallons of toxic fluid per well – what could go wrong?

Lancashire Fracking Tests are a threat to us all. It’s organising time!
These planning applications were rejected by Lancashire County Council and are vehemently opposed by the community. Now is the time to start planning for long-term, organised, effective community resistance.

less than 2 months after Upton Site abandoned, IGas are back on the scene…
Land Registry documents show a subsidiary of the organisation called Star Energy paid £141,000 for the site at the junction of Warrington Road and Ince Lane in Bridge Trafford. The news comes less than two months after IGas announced it had abandoned plans to drill for coal bed methane gas at both Duttons Lane in […]
Each and every fracking well produces millions of gallons of waste… it’s all toxic.
The quantities of toxic and radioactive waste being produced by fracking, are overwhelming the limited capacity of treatment plants, which cannot remove all contaminants in any case, and combined with spilling and dumping is contaminating land, waterways and groundwater.
