Sustainable Hayfield - Fracking and AGM

Everyone is invited to Sustainable Hayfield’s AGM, at the The Royal in Hayfield from 7.30pm onThursday 26th June. After the brief AGM and refreshments there will be ‘THE BIG FRACKING DEBATE’. Details...

Fracking (hydraulic fracturing of rock deep underground) for gas or oil is clearly emerging as a central plank of this government’s future energy policy. It’s making more and more land available, in principle, for test drilling and possible commercial extraction. This could see licensed exploration in special landscapes, including the Peak District and its National Park. And there’s talk of changing law to stop landowners vetoing fracking under their land.

So it’s clear there is quite a head of steam behind fracking. But what is it, what are its economics, its scientific base, its environmental impacts? There is much heat, loud claim and counter-claim, about all this. Sustainable Hayfield are delighted to have two worthy scientists to help shape a local discussion around this:

Pete Webb, geologist and industrial consultant, has 40 years’ experience in the oil and gas industry. He considers that, responsibly managed, oil and gas extracted by shale fracking have an important role to play in making the UK less dependent on imported energy whilst alternative home sources of supply are developed;

Royston Sellman is a scientist who worked at and for the Centre for Sustainable Energy. He considers fracking an unnecessary, harmful and wasteful activity, producing more climate-changing emissions of greenhouse gases and diverting investment from more sustainable sources of UK-based energy generation.

Both are accomplished and experienced presenters, who want to promote informed debate on what is a significant public policy issue. We anticipate a rich and constructive discussion, with opportunity for questions after presentations.

Why not consider putting your name forward to join Sustainable Hayfield’s main committee: it meets no more than monthly. Or, if you’re interested in one of their topic groups (food, waste, energy, transport, school) why not find out more and get involved? Let Secretary Ruth Wilson, know (01663 745574 or ruthwilson_58@hotmail.com) of your interest by Saturday 21 June.

Visit the Houses of Parliament!
