#52014-03-03 11:59Fracking is possibly the most urgent issue of our time since poisoning the water supply is as insane and suicidal as it gets. I hope this petition reaches far and wide and has the desired effect of banning fracking everywhere. |

#62014-03-13 09:51although I do not live in the area in question, I have visited many times and hope to continue doing so. Fracking is wrong on so many levels. It must not be allowed anywhere. |

#72014-03-14 18:33Earthquakes linked with fracking are rarely triggered by the actual oil-and-gas extraction. Rather, these quakes are caused by fluid disposal in deep wells. Fracking, short for hydraulic fracturing, involves injecting water, sand and chemicals into the Earth to crack open rock and remove oil and gas. The millions of gallons of waste fluids are usually pumped back into the Earth via deep "wastewater injection wells." The wastewater can lubricate or jack open fractures and faults, triggering earthquakes. Water is one of the main utilities that the Fracking Conglomerate need for their shale gas process. They use tons and tons, and it is argued that it becomes polluted during this process. How does this affect the sustainability of our country's water? |

#92014-03-25 13:52This needs to be stopped now. Right now. Stopping this atrocity will ensure we go on living normally and not in a disgusting, polluted wildlifeless, waterless country. Fracking will poison our land, take our water and destroy this country all for profit. We need to look toward renewable or sustainable solutions. Turna light off from time to time, car share, anything it takes but not this. Fracking is the work of the criminally insane |

#102014-05-01 01:16Until i went to Daneshill, the 'Dart Energy' drilling site. I really didn't know much about Fracking, foolishly trusting that the statutary authorities and NGO's would always do the right thing.That is to put the protection of the environment, wildlife and the population first. How wrong could I be? Very wrong is the answer!!!!!! After first visiting the site some 6 weeks ago I emediatlely asked some locals "Why have Dart Energy been allowed to drill on an old WW" bomb factory? The answer to that question and what followed in the next six week has astounded me, so much so that I'm now very worried about the effects CBM/fracking will almost certainly have on our environment, wildlife and all our lives if allowed to continue unregulated! Especially if the Environment Agency (EA), Notts. County Council (NCC) and Notts. Wildlife Trust (NWT) are the organisations charged with protecting our massive aquifer (drinking water), the wildlife and people of Bassetlaw. None of the above questioned the health & safety implications of drilling through old buried munitions. The planning application shows NWT actually supported it. No soil samples were taken by EA prior to drilling comencing. No 'Genuine' wildlife survey was done. One was done for Dart Energy: results apparently showed NO! birds, NO! Bats, NO! Deer, NO! Badgers, NO! amphibians in fact NO WILDLIFE. An independant survey found a frog squashed at the access gate and over 20 species of birds, including a schedule 1 species 'Wood lark' with 90+ birds in total recorded during a short one hour site perimiter survey. Also several deer and amphibians (frogs/toads) present. NB: Disturbing schedual 1 birds is an offence if you are informed of their presence. So not suprising they didn't find them!!! Before granting a permit to drill for CBM/fracking, the relevant regulatory authority (The Environment Agency) MUST be satisfied that these activities will NOT cause pollution of groundwater. Oh really! In the case of the 'Daneshill Forest' drill site. No consideration was given to the fact the site was on a WW2 munitions factory (ROF). As can you believe "no one knew it had existed". NCC's words not mine! YET! Neither Dart Energy or EA bothered to do any soil sampling on this old bomb site. Not until local people complained over and over again! In many peoples minds there is proof enough that NCC's old ROF bomb site, did extend up to and around the drilling site. The samples were only begrudgingly taken from the surface as the pad was already down and the drill was sat on it. NCC owning the site, leasing it to dart and erecting a plan of the ROF site shows they knew all about the historical use of THEIR own land. Even the Luftwaffe knew about it... Is our environment and wildlife safe in the hands of Dart Energy, EA. Local councils and NGO's? I fear NOT if the recent Daneshill experience is the norm! |
