Fracking and Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) have no place in the UK. They are dangerous to our environment, our climate and the very fabric of our land. The Conservative government’s position of ‘allowing a higher degree of risk and disturbance to those living nearby’ is definitely not, as they claim, ‘in the national interest’.

Our shoreline is home to many wildlife habitats and would be devastated by fracking and UCG. Sending shockwaves through our land is foolhardy and unacceptable. 

Allowing earthquakes to weaken the ground on which our houses are built is foolhardy and unacceptable.

The government must preserve our planet, enhancing quality of life for our children and grandchildren by using clean energy that will address climate change, create jobs and reduce bills.  

The government must invest in our future, not our downfall.
