FRACK FREE RYEDALE<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

(Now Ex-)Prime Minister Liz Truss announced on September 8th 2022 that the moratorium on fracking, in place since 2019, will come to an end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frack Free Ryedale’s press release is below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Everyone is worried about high energy prices and the terrible situation with the war in Ukraine. We are all affected by this. But repeatedly the government has been told by independent energy experts that fracking is not the solution. Not only is the industry unproven but any meaningful production is years away. Also, the gas belongs to the companies that extract it and would be sold at market price. In fact earlier this year the then Business Secretary, Mr Kwarteng, stated that fracking would not lower prices, production of any useful quantity of gas was a decade away and that fracking was not the solution to the energy crisis. The lifting of the fracking moratorium is a political decision, not a sensible decision. The quickest way to lower bills is to reduce our dependency on gas by better insulating homes and developing more renewables. Renewables are now nine times cheaper than expensive gas. We remain opposed to fracking for all these reasons and because of its unacceptable impacts on the environment, climate change, the countryside and communities.”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
