‘Just Good Common Sense’: UK Confirms it Will Lift Fracking Ban in England

Peter Caddle 23 Sep 2022

The UK government has removed a ban on the use of fracking in England, with the country’s Energy Secretary telling the house of commons that the move is “just good common sense”.

A ban on the use of fracking in England that has been in place since 2019 has finally been lifted in the face of the ongoing energy crisis, with the UK Energy Secretary, Jacob Rees-Mogg, having said the decision makes “just good common sense”.

Speaking in the commons on Thursday, Rees-Mogg outright dismissed any suggestion that fracking posed any danger through seismic activity, saying that such notions were bourne out of a total misunderstanding of how earthquakes are measured.

My prediction, fracking is not going to happen.

If the UK is to get the Natural Gas they need, it likely will. Keep in mind it is just a production enhancement technique, not drilling the hole, and that existing wellbores can be re-fracced to perk up production (although it is seldom as effective as the first round).
