Synopsis

In the USA shale gas extraction is taking a toll on the nation's environment and health. Now, in the UK, the oil and gas companies are faced with ever-diminishing returns from conventional sources. They want to bring new hydraulic fracturing, coal bed methane and underground coal gasification techniques to our coastal and rural areas. In Fracking The UK, Alan Tootill takes a look at the history of shale gas development in the US, the damage it is causing, and how a powerful industry wants not only to industrialise Britain's landscape but throw concerns about climate change to the wind. His conclusion is simple. We should not allow this to happen here. Since the first edition of this book appeared a second volume has been published, Fracking The UK 2, The Storm Continues, which follows the further history of the attempt to frack the UK.
