Closed Invest in renewables - not fracking

Closed on

The number of locations which are being investigated for possible hydraulic fracturing and/or underground coal gasification (UCG) has greatly increased.

The money would be better invested in renewable energy; tidal, wave, solar et cetera. The investment would secure energy demand - as well as being safer, clean and, unlike shale gas, an infinite resource.
There will come a time when renewables are the only option - don't hesitate.

Renewables are the only way forward and must eventually sustain all of our energy demands.
