Fracking for Flintshire

Flintshire has underneath it vast mineral resources. Coal, limestone, etc.

The UK Gov have already / are going to issue licences to explore for gas and oil that can be extracted by fracking.

UK Gov are currently between a rock and a hard place over energy security due to sitting on their hands for the last 20 years.

Does this offer a way out?

Environmental concerns seem not to be an issue with those in power.

Penyffordd district in the 1800's was a very dirty place indeed with the extraction of oil from coal. There were numerous extraction plants between here and Mold.

The River Alyn would have been black.

Will fracking come to Penyffordd?
