Plans to start extracting gas from the ground in rural areas of Oxfordshire have caused a mixed reaction from various public groups.
The debate comes hot on the heels of the revelation by the Oxford Mail that a section of land just north of Oxford has been earmarked as a potential site for tapping into resources.
The process of inland fracking involves drilling into the ground and then pumping natural materials like water or sand into the hole to force out gas. This is a relatively new technique which the government is backing by incentivising companies which choose to use it with tax breaks.
Those in favour of the method are saying it will transform the UK economy and the way that fuel is sourced in the country. However, its critics are saying there could be a negative impact on the environment.
The government has produced a number of reports, overview leaflets and guides explaining in detail what the process involves. This information is also being used by Oxfordshire authorities to educate members of the public on the situation. It is thought that some of the physical materials – such as leaflets and Posters - were produced with the help of a Print company in Oxford.
Michael Fallon, the minister for energy, also gave his support, and said that any concerns which have been raised by the issues encountered in the U.S. were unfounded as the process would be significantly different in the UK.
