"...the implications of fracking are a bit blurred at the moment..."

No. They are not. Research before you speak. When I said, above, that it would take one two months to review my compilation of research, I meant EXACTLY that. Two solid months - every day. The bottom line is, do not allow unconventional horizontal hydraulic fracturing of gas bearing rock.

Protest is a dirty word here. It's 'protection' and it works. Fracking is being banned in many countries and in areas within many other countries. The problem is, it is not happening fast enough to prevent water and air pollution that kills... immediately and for a very, very long time after the gas is gone.

I shall add, I have no intention of taking the time to edify any herein. The research is easily accessible to anyone who wishes to edify themselves.
