Balcombe and Beyond: The UK's Frack Free Movement
Ever since the massive community protests at the West Sussex village of Balcombe in 2013, Hydraulic Fracturing (or 'Fracking') has become a household phrase throughout the UK. Invented in the USA in 1998, high volume high pressure slick water hydraulic fracturing has birthed a new light for the American oil and gas industry. But at what cost?
This book covers all sides of the debate from political involvement, financial implications and environmental and health risks to UK action groups, policing and the campaign to prevent unconventional oil and gas extraction from coming to the UK.
Whether you are new to the subject or simply have not formed an opinion, this book will help you to understand how the various drilling methods work, the arguments used by the pro and anti lobbies and the reason why tens of thousands of people from across the country are taking to the streets in the an unprecedented act of unity to oppose the industry.
