Fracking earthquakes

There have been two minor earthquakes since Friday at Little Plumpton. Apparently, neither was felt at the surface and the red light system meant fracking was stopped. However, I still feel very uneasy about fracking as I feel not enough is known about the pollution of groundwater and the destabilisation of the land. I cannot understand this rush to empower yet another non renewable energy source. Instead, let’s make sure all new housing has to be built with solar panels, wind energy is subsidised (providing employment, particularly in some of the most struggling areas such as the Humber), and research in alternative energies is funded.
