RECENTLY government spin doctors and call me Dave have all been talking up the benefits of fracking for natural gas. How will we all benefit from this? How can we find out the truth?

Watching the documentaries by Josh Fox called Gaslands 2010 and Gaslands 2012 has definitely made me not want this under any circumstances, but yet another documentary, Truthlands, puts the opposite point of view. When are we going to get a proper scientific viewpoint on this subject? Instead of spin let’s have the facts. We are not America, we are a small, densely populated country where any negative effects could be devastating. Tell us the truth now.
