Energy minister @mgshanks has indicated that the proposed ban on #Fracking won't include low volume processes, despite him hearing that the proposed fluid volume at #Burniston is higher than the volume injected at #PrestonNewRoad which caused earthquakes. https://t.co/oYoqbsYx39

The possibility of #Fracking returning to #Lancashire has divided politicians in the Reform led county council from their "drill baby drill" national leadership. The issue has also prompted renewed opposition from campaigners and other political parties. https://t.co/5lnILHsSEB

#Cheshire could face #Fracking if Reform wins the next general election according to @UE, the @GreenpeaceUK investigative journalism unit. Reform deputy leader Richard Tice said the fracking ban would be lifted so fracking firms could "drill baby drill". https://t.co/RBEbErXfx3

ENVIRONMENT campaigners Greenpeace are alleging that two constituencies near Chester, Ellesmere Port and Wirral face fracking under Reform.

Reform wants to "drill baby drill" if it wins the next election. The #FrackingMoratorium isn't written into law, so it's all too easy for a future government to allow fracking all over again. Please sign the petition for a legally binding fracking ban 👇 https://t.co/4yCCLmLzRB

Nigel Farage's Reform party has declared it wants to “drill baby drill” if it wins the next general election. There’s a temporary pause on fracking in England, but it’s not even written into law. So

Reform is telling the #Fracking industry to get ready to "drill baby drill" if it wins the next general election. @Nigel_Farage and @TiceRichard are already laying the groundwork in meetings with fracking firms. #WeSaidNo and we're ready to fight again ✊ https://t.co/SHKKQoIkGR

The party is serious about going after shale gas - but critics argue it's too difficult and costly.

The fracking moratorium only covers injecting shale with large fluid volumes. Plans have been submitted to frack with small fluid volumes at #WestNewton in #EastYorkshire and #Burniston in #NorthYorkshire. Tell the government to ban small-scale fracking 👇 https://t.co/HF9CfjoGlJ

Fracking forces fluid into rocks to open cracks so oil or gas can flow out. It was banned in 2019 after being blamed for causing earthquakes in shale gas drilling. But the ban only covers fracking...
