Gas fracked in Lancs - Greenpeace response

In response to reports* that Cuadrilla has detected small gas flows at their Preston New Road fracking site, John Sauven, Executive Director of Greenpeace UK said -

“It’s now over seven years since the first UK well was fracked. After all the many millions invested, the changes in the law, the removal of local democracy and property rights and weeks of earth tremors, the industry has produced a deep hole in a muddy field with a small amount of very expensive gas at the bottom. Over the same period, onshore wind became the cheapest source of power in the UK. The government responded by effectively banning it. It is truly bewildering how little fossil fuel companies need to offer in order to get whole-hearted, full-throated government support, and how much clean technologies can offer and still be blocked.”
