The UK government has removed a ban on the use of fracking in England, with the country’s Energy Secretary telling the house of commons that the move is “just good common sense”.

A ban on the use of fracking in England that has been in place since 2019 has finally been lifted in the face of the ongoing energy crisis, with the UK Energy Secretary, Jacob Rees-Mogg, having said the decision makes “just good common sense”.

Speaking in the commons on Thursday, Rees-Mogg outright dismissed any suggestion that fracking posed any danger through seismic activity, saying that such notions were bourne out of a total misunderstanding of how earthquakes are measured.

"We know that shale gas is safe," Jacob Rees-Mogg tells MPs as the government lifts ban on fracking
The business secretary says "bringing on this supply will bring us cheaper energy which we need" adding "it is sheer ludditery that opposes it"https://t.co/xrsTay3Jvg pic.twitter.com/9gCqkRxWF9

“It is safe. It is shown to be safe,” the long-time Brexiteer said. “The scare stories have been disproved time and again.”


Going to be interesting to see how long "good common sense" prevails.

He is correct that fracking does not cause seismic activity, I’m just wondering what they plan to do with the waste water afterwards? A public/private partnership in Oklahoma gathered a lot of data on wastewater injection into the ground and seismic activity, so much so that they have the ability to do limited slips on a chosen fault line.
