THIS IS MEGA IMPORTANT!! Deadline MONDAY 26th -Have you written/gone to see your MP about the infrastructure bill? This video explains what its all about youtu.be/AuBNy0hNtto The bill includes: Maximising economic recovery of gas and oil - including fracking, coal gasification, coalbed methane extraction and geothermal - anywhere in Britain to be a legal objective- no mention of safety, just economics! So technically it would be a legal requirement to make it as economical as possible...this doesnt bode well in the future for regulations which are already weak, when politicians insist on dumping their heads in the sand when it comes to safety. Not to mention climate change! The right to dump and abandon any substance whatsoever under any land (including radioactive and gases). The right to drill under any land, public or private. Without your permission. Residents near drill sites have reported noise disturbances, the only hvhp frack in this country so far caused earth tremors! THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT. You may feel like your opinion doesnt count but every little voice together makes one loud voice, and we at least have to give em a bit of hell about it dont we? There are other insidious parts to the bill, If you want more info this doc is useful, it is only a page long- easy to digest, (the p stands for paragraph so dont be put off by the table of contents) https://docs.google/document/d/1rKvNUJtO2kCWXl1Ggvv_g0bkTTL1Nd05_JtVV5LMvLg/mobilebasic?pli=1 This fb group has lots of info, the current banner explains the different parts of bill https://facebook/groups/infrastructurebill/ This diagram explains how bill goes through parliament, final vote is on Monday 26th Jan. https://facebook/photo.php?fbid=347013808814899&set=o.1561488477397351&type=1 Dont forget to ask your MP to request an unredacted copy of the Defra report on the effects of fracking on the rural economy https://gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/337654/RFI6751_Draft_Shale_Gas_Rural_economy_impact_report.pdf Thank you beautiful people!
