| 'The government is trying to change the law so big energy companies can drill for gas under our homes - without asking us. [1] Brentford and Isleworth is sat on top of a seam of gas - and it’s already been earmarked for drilling.[2] So unless these plans are stopped, gas could be sucked from under your home very soon. But together, we could do just that. Because to change the law the government needs MPs to vote for it in parliament. And the vote's in just a few weeks. ....' From an online petition from 38 Degrees. I am just wondering if anybody knows anything more about this - it's the first I've heard! Is it true? Does anybody know of any write-ups etc.? |
