Commenting on speculation that the fracking ban could be lifted tomorrow (Thursday), Friends of the Earth campaigner Danny Gross said:

“Fracking is disruptive, unpopular and will do little to boost energy security or bring down bills.

“Fossil fuels are at the root of so many of the problems we currently face.

“We need clean, modern solutions to the energy and climate crises. That means insulation, energy efficiency and developing cheap renewables like onshore wind and solar.”
