Suspended due to earthquake! Well that lasted a long time then...
(I realise they will be at it again as soon as)

Yeah, let's just raise the limit so we can rumble properly. 0.8? Pffft.

Hopefully they find fuck all and do one back out of the country, its all a bit greehan common.
Success would mean the plant planned at frodsham marsh cheshire would go ahead (geo thermal ) peel like to call it, plus exploration off the dee mersey coast.

Another 1.1 earth tremor today 28th october . Not that it will continue to make the news.

Well on their way to sinking Britain?

I expect the Government to try and break this resistance by more repressive legislation.

I suspect you're right, as the government oveturned Lancashire County Councils rejection of fracking.

A highly believable intervention from a major investor in fracking ...

Posted by @amey in the pro-cycling thread.

The government has banned fracking with immediate effect in a watershed moment for environmentalists and community activists.

I was expecting this to coincide with a rock-Bottom oil price making fracking commercially fruitless. It seems that although the price is not high it’s not below the sub $50 marker that usually indicates the industry contracting

Also being discussed, with a different emphasis, in the 'Epic win' thread:

Call me cynical, but I find it coincidental that the Tories announce this during an election campaign. A campaign which, if they went to secure a majority, then they need to win seats in northern England where most fracking trials have been conducted.

Big crude oil ships are making a re-appearance in the river for stanlow so the prices must be good .
How peel get round this lack of investment on its land will be interesting . They have a habit of land grabbing and neglecting along the mersey entrance.
