Cuadrilla’s contested fracking applications are a BIG deal for the UK.
Earlier this year fracking company Cuadrilla Resources came up against enormous community opposition in Lancashire and 2 of their flagship UK fracking projects were rejected by the County Council.

Fracking Wells Run Dry Quickly – 10,000s Required in UK Countryside!!!
Oil, gas and coal are not renewable resources. The easiest and cheapest to extract resources have been taken first. Fracking for shale gas is just scraping the bottle of the barrel and the side effects are massive. With the average U.S shale well declining by 84% in three years companies have been forced to drill […]

Oldest U.S. Shale gas & oil fields plateauing or in decline…
Fracking is not a pathway to UK energy security. An average shale gas well produces 1 billion cubic feet (bcf) of gas, an average coal bed methane well (CBM) produces half of that. Divide that by UK gas consumption and you realise that we’d need to be drilling 8-10 new wells each and every day! […]
