Fracking under homes could be allowed without permission
Fracking - or hydraulic fracturing - is a technique in which water and chemicals are pumped into shale rock at high pressure to extract gas.
Currently operators need to ask homeowners before they drill under their land, but they have a right to appeal by law if an agreement cannot be reached.
"There is an existing legal route by which operators can apply for access where this can't be negotiated. We're currently considering whether this existing route is fit for purpose," said a spokesperson for the Department of Energy and Climate Change.
Shale gas exploration typically involves drilling down vertically and out horizontally, often for more than a mile.

UK Fracking could be allowed under people’s homes without their consent
While compensation is often only a minimal amount, less than £100, companies fear that court proceedings could be costly and drawn out by years of appeals. They have been lobbying the government to change the law.
Unsurprisingly, given how close the government and the energy companies are on shale gas, the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) has confirmed they are looking at whether the current laws are “fit for purpose.”
Fracking or hydraulic fracturing involves pumping water, sand and chemicals down a well at high pressure to fracture rocks and then extract the gas trapped within them.It has been linked to health and environmental damage in some US states where it is extensive.
Ian Crane, a former oil executive, who is now a campaigner against fracking, explained to RT the extreme dangers that shale gas exploration poses to a densely populated country like the UK.
“We’ve seen the effects in places like Colorado and southern Queensland in Australia. When the population density of the UK is 20 times that of Colorado and 100 times that of Queensland, I would simply implore people to do a bit of research and look at the damage and the contamination that has been wreaked in these locations around the world,” he said.
He also pointed out that of the four wells drilled in the UK, seismic events have occurred at two of them, and there is a very real chance that people in areas where fracking is taking place will no longer have access to safe and clean water.

Descriptions of hydraulic fracturing in the media state that water, chemicals and sand are injected at high pressures into the horizontal drilling to split the rock and allow the gas and oil to migrate to the vertical drilling for recovery. Such media descriptions often omit the use of underground explosions to create increased rock splitting and pressure to facilitate the migration of the fuel. Shaped explosive charges are used, made of depleted uranium. Byproducts of fracking are radioactive and toxic water. disposal of this water is pumping it back underground. Such fouling of our planet is beyond cleanup. Wake Up.

Unless there is totally independent supervision of Fracking it will be an environmental disaster. ...
Unfortunately any true independent assessors have been shut off as the truth is far too unpalatable to be of any support to the lemming like stampede to destruction, economically and environmentally.
