<p>The UK Prime minister recently announced that the ban on Fracking will be lifted [1].   I was going to ask about this on Science forums, however I found an existing discussion on Science forums [2].  It should be possible to link this discussion to others to look at the wider topic.</p>

<p>There are clearly several issues surrounding this topic,  and arguments for &amp; against,  it is important to get a clear picture and seek evidence based facts.   I have included a link to <em>Ask for Evidence</em> [3] for completeness and to help people with further research.</p>

<p>I downloaded the paper from the discussion so will read offline.</p>
