#FridayFun: The Fossil Fuel Four

You know a topic is high on the news agenda when it features in The Simpsons.   http://www.break.com/video/ugc/radioactive-man-killed-by-fracking-2562911 

Here 'Fracking Man' features alongside a number of other energy-related "super heroes"; all of whom are competing against one another to showcase which is the ultimate source of energy.


In all seriousness, fracking is an issue that we will be hearing much more about in the UK over the coming weeks and months due to Government releasing new proposals related to accessing land for shale oil and gas developments.

The new rules would essentially grant underground access rights that bypass the law of trespass for work that is 300 metres or more below the land’s surface.  The consultation period is open until 15 August – further information on proposals can be accessed from the Department of Energy & Climate Change website.  

For more details regarding Landmark’s Energy and Infrastructure Report, which includes details related to areas licensed for on-shore energy exploration and production, including those licensed for fracking, click here.
