YOU can help in the Fight Against Fracking

We, the people, can resist the Fracking movement



In south-eastern Poland, Grabowiec County, Chevron's first fracking stop was Rogów, a small 106 person farming community.

The villagers signed agreements with Chevron's subcontractor to conduct seismic testing on the land they owned. Machinery arrived on the fields, walls cracked and well water turned black. Outraged, all further work was brought to a halt by the villagers.

Seismic Surveys: The Fracking Spearhead

The renewed efforts by fracking companies to kick start unconventional oil and gas extraction in the UK is not confined just to drilling exploration wells. In fact, for large parts of the country residents most likely first contact with the frackers will be in the form of seismic surveys. In recent months a rash of plans for such surveys has begun to emerge, with many more likely to follow. With shale and coal formations under large parts of the UK, fracking companies need some idea of where best to drill and seismic data is often their first port of call.

Leading UK fracker IGas Energy, backed by money from french oil giant Total, has already completed a 3D survey in a 68 square kilometre area of South Yorkshire and North Nottinghamshire around Bawtry. IGas have announced their intention

There's More to Fracking than Just Drilling for Gas

Amended


If you think fracking is only about drilling for gas, you are wrong.

If a borehole comes to your vicinity the first thing that could happen, albeit invisibly, could be the devaluation of the property you own by about 30%, that's if you could find a buyer.

Presuming someone did decide to buy your home at the reduced sale price. Joy could turn to despair if you find that their mortgage company has turned them down because they won't insure the property.

Effective Rules to Combat the Opposition

Effective Rules to Combat the Opposition

* RULE 1: “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.” Power is derived from 2 main sources – money and people. “Have-Nots” must build power from flesh and blood. (These are two things of which there is a plentiful supply. Government and corporations always have a difficult time appealing to people, and usually do so almost exclusively with economic arguments.)
