Rejected petition Prevent the concreting of Fracking sites

Ask Parliament to prevent the concreting over and putting out of use fracking sites at a time when we need more, not less fuel security

More details

As the current crisis demonstrates Britain is massively dependent on imported gas, while sitting on 50 years worth of gas reserves.
This dependence undermines the country’s lee room to act against gas exporters such as Russia.
Concreting over the wells is not supported by reliable science and the impact of continuing this policy is to substantially increase the cost of living.
