This omnibus edition contains the first two volumes of Fracking The UK.In the first volume, Alan Tootill discussed the threat to Britain of a new dash for gas. He concluded that the US experience shows the UK government's imposition of shale gas exploration on an unwilling public is ill-judged and unacceptable. Published in March 2013, this remains an essential primer to fracking and how it might affect the UK. The second volume, Fracking The UK 2 - The Storm Rages On, covers events in the UK since 2013, up to December 2016. It reports on new developments in the US and emerging information about the hazards of fracking, with reference to how this fits in with the UK government's pro-fracking climate. Political, industry and social developments in the UK are charted, with special emphasis on England, where the UK government is intent on inflicting fracking on an unwilling public.For those wishing to explore the background behind current events in Lancashire and the battle being waged against fracking, this is an essential read.
