Keep fracking out of Britain!
Ban fracking for good
Why is this important?
I live in Lincolnshire, and a new gas field has been found nearby. Reform UK are already shouting “drill, baby, drill,” and fracking isn’t banned - it’s only paused. That means they could start drilling again at any time.
It’s reckless and dangerous. Earth tremors, polluted water, contaminated water, noise and light pollution and methane emissions on our doorsteps. It is a myth that it will cut our energy bills; the gas will go onto the international market and be sold to the highest bidder. And most local jobs will be a few security guards and HGV drivers. All risk, no reward.
I’m asking Energy Secretary Ed Miliband to ban fracking permanently. Add your name and help shut the door on fracking for good.
