“This... is a tremendous victory for communities and the climate. For nearly a decade local people... have fought a David and Goliath battle against this powerful (#fracking) industry. We are proud to have been part of that fight.” - @CraigBennett3

In the search for alternative energy sources for the UK, there seemed to be one obvious place to look - underground.

THREAD: Decided to google the forty-eight “practising geoscientists” who signed this letter…
Almost 50 geoscientists have urged the government to commission an urgent review of the fracking earthquake limit, which they suggest should be raised to allow the industry to expand https://t.co/H1HRSx5ITq

Would be great to see how *independent* these geoscientists are? What or who has motivated them to speak out now?????
And so the softening-up govt process begins. 47 « independent » geoscientists write to The Times calling for earthquake safety rules on fracking to be relaxed. Regulator and govt say no - but do they mean it or are they desperate to find a way to turn it into a yes.

@CuadrillaUK confirm that 3million litres of water have been used at PNR fracking site Difficult to see how this can be sustainable long term when 1 small test well uses so much water? Imagine if the UK had thousands of high volume fracking wells https://t.co/p95TaI22tj

Now this one looks familiar! So pleased to see @friends_earth testing fracking regulation which we’re repeatedly told is best around. Is it even lawful? Let’s see
Friends of the Earth challenging the Environment Agency over the permit issued to Cuadrilla for their Preston New Road site.

@CuadrillaUK partners AJL have provided statement on the PNR #fracking earthquake problems. In summary: ▪️Lobby to deregulate the traffic light system by increasing threshold ▪️Increase flowback period = more cost, transport, waste #goldstandardregs

NEW: 7th earthquake recorded near @CuadrillaUK fracking site. Largest to date at 0.5ML and therefore a ‘RED’ warning on the “traffic light system” meaning @CuadrillaUK must stop #fracking. https://t.co/bU9ESuvINo

@EnvAgency confirm in Sept CLG @CuadrillaUK stored waste from PNR fracking site at unlicensed site on 'at least 22 occasions'! **At least 22 occasions** @CuadrillaUK again showing contempt for the Regs! @emilygosden reported on this back in August. https://t.co/O4brylGjNX
