Fracking for gas can be safe they said. Don't worry about fossil fuel extraction near to housing they said. Look at the oil extraction near Poole in Dorset they said. It's 100% safe they said.

Well if fracked gas is 'green' and 'net zero' why the hell are you supporting it then?
The Ohio legislature has passed a bill opening all state land to fracking and labelling natural gas as ‘green energy’. A brilliant policy during the energy crisis, the UK should do the same before it’s too late.
