Fracking in Lancashire

According to the BBC, “It is ‘extremely unlikely’ shale gas drilling in Lancashire could contaminate ground water supplies, a leading geologist has said.”

In simple words, ‘Bollix!’ (Please pardon my French).

Here in the United States federal environment officials scientifically linked underground water pollution with hydraulic fracturing.  They concluded that contaminants found in central Wyoming were likely caused by the gas drilling process commonly referred to as “Fracking”.

“The presence of synthetic compounds such as glycol ethers … and the assortment of other organic components is explained as the result of direct mixing of hydraulic fracturing fluids with ground water in the Pavillion gas field,” the draft report states. Alternative explanations for the findings were carefully considered, but the cause of the contamination was unquestionably due to “Fracking”

Those friends and family who live in Lancashire, England, should put the word out – let it be known that you’re being led up the garden path.  There are similar reports from other parts of the US.
