Fracked or fiction?
Episode 26
Can the process of cracking rock underground lead to water contamination? Can fracking cause earthquakes? Could the wells that we drill to extract shale gas leak, and what can we learn from the history of drilling in the UK to date?
Sarah talks to Professor Richard Davies of the ReFINE (Researching Fracking In Europe) project, which is carrying out independent research from a neutral stance in order to help provide information for members of the public, politicians, industry and academics around Europe.
