Lancashire Evening Post: New report ‘boosts the case for safe fracking’
A new study which shows Lancashire’s ‘fracking’ will not cause earthquakes has been hailed as another step to answer fears about the industry.
The report, published on Wednesday by one of the country’s leading universities, has claimed hydraulic fracturing causes tremors no bigger than someone jumping off a ladder.
Francis Egan, the boss of Cuadrilla Resources, the company leading exploration work under the county’s countryside which caused a pair of tremors in 2011, said it would act as “further reassurance” to those people living close to proposed drill sites.
