Caudrilla withdraws applications frack Lancashire encountering problems with radioactive waste disposal
2014-01-27 19:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Independent: Cuadrilla, the fracking company responsible for a series of earth tremors around Blackpool in 2011, has withdrawn applications for permits to frack in Lancashire after problems surfaced relating to the disposal of radioactive waste. Hydraulic fracturing or fracking releases gas or oil from shale by blasting a mixture of sand, chemicals and water into the rock. The process produces huge amounts of waste water that contains, among other things, low-level naturally-occurring radiation. Industry...
