\"\"<\/a><\/h3>\n
Derby Climate Coalition organised an anti-fracking meeting on the 9th of March. We heard\u00a0some\u00a0fantastic campaigners; from Sherwood Forest, Amber Valley and from Eckington in NE Derbyshire. 20 people came to our meeting.<\/h5>\n

We swapped lots of information and resources. \u00a0A UK Petroleum Exploration and Development Licence (PEDL) allows a company to pursue a range of oil and gas exploration activities, subject to necessary drilling\/development consents and planning permission. There are currently 230 onshore licences, covering 529 blocks. \u00a0\u00a0Here\u00a0are some maps of PEDLS:\u00a0UK oil and gas<\/a><\/h5>\n
Drill or Drop<\/a> is really useful for up to date info and breaking news<\/a>.\u00a0It also has loads on the PEDLs in the East Mids <\/a>and here is an example of the sort of details<\/a> that are available \u00a0for example Block SK55<\/a> is part of PEDL303<\/a> and here are the details<\/a> on the Licence data report.<\/h5>\n
More info on the actual responsibilities with the licence are here<\/a>\u00a0.<\/h5>\n
Thanks to Chris Crean from \u00a0Friends of the Earth (FOE) \u00a0for supplying this.\u00a0\u00a0FOE\u00a0fracking info is here<\/a> and that for Frack Off is here<\/a>.\u00a0and here also are the links for\u00a0\u00a0Frack free South Yorks<\/a> and Frackfree Notts<\/a><\/h5>\n
In summary, the Government is finding it rather difficult to roll out fracking across the UK. For two reasons. First it is proving to be rather expensive, especially because of the lowering of costs of renewable energy.<\/h5>\n
Secondly, and above all, because of the resistance by local campaigners.There are now hundreds and\u00a0hundreds\u00a0of anti-fracking groups up and down the country.<\/h5>\n
Here are some more photo’s from the Eckington demonstration against fracking on February 25.<\/h5>\n
There were 260 people there and the local parish council brought its own banner and is promising to lead the fight all the way up to\u00a0the Derbyshire County Council.\u00a0See the link to the Eckington against fracking\u00a0Facebook \u00a0group:\u00a0https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/EckingtonAgainstFracking\/<\/a><\/h5>\n
It may well be that the government may be defeated!<\/h5>\n
