Doesn't sound like a laughing matter. Why would you LOL at people suffering ill health?

She's actually had the good grace to edit the LOL away.

People who live in fracking zones appear to suffer a higher rate of heart conditions and neurological illnesses, according to new research.

Although the US study was unable to determine a specific reason, it suggests there may be a link between drilling and ill health, scientists said.

Residents in high-density areas of fracking made 27 per cent more hospital visits for treatment for heart conditions than those from locations where no fracking took place, according to a new study of drilling in Pennsylvania between 2007 and 2011.

“This study captured the collective response of residents to hydraulic fracturing in zip codes within counties with higher well densities,” said Reynold Panettieri, professor of medicine at Penn University.

“At this point, we suspect that residents are exposed to many toxicants, noise and social stressors due to hydraulic fracturing near their homes and this may add to the increased number of hospitalisations.”

The findings revealed that cardiology and neurological in-patient prevalence rates were significantly higher in areas closer to active wells. Hospitalisations for skin conditions, cancer and urological problems also increased with proximity to wells.

Prof Panettieri cautioned that the study did not prove that fracking actually caused the health problems and said more research was needed to determine exactly what effect any pollution associated with the technique may be contributing to heart conditions or neurological illnesses.

But the significant increase in hospital visits observed relatively quickly after fracking began in an area “suggests that healthcare costs of hydraulic fracturing must be factored into the economic benefits of unconventional gas and drilling”, said the report, which is published in the journal PLOS One and also involved Columbia University in New York.

The highly controversial technique of fracking, that releases oil or gas from shale by blasting a mixture of water, chemicals and sand into rock, is yet to be employed in the UK on a commercial scale. It is widespread in the US, however, where it has frequently been linked to groundwater and air pollution.

Yet a series of reports in the UK have concluded that the problems arising from fracking in the US are down to weak regulations and poor techniques. Advocates say that any fracking in the UK would be done safely, meaning residents will be shielded from the difficulties experienced by locals in the US.

But opponents of fracking – including the Scottish and Welsh Governments – argue that still far too little is known about the effects of the technique, and say more research needs to be done before it is deployed in the UK.

This latest report will be seen as further evidence that more research needs to be conducted before fracking is allowed in the UK – even though it does not get to the bottom of the causes of the health problems.

FROM THE DAILY EXPRESS - 17/7/15




The Government looks set to grant licenses for energy companies to explore up to 65 per cent of rural Britain in the search for underground natural gas.

That could see millions of people living in and around drilling sites lose up to 30 per cent off the value of their homes, including some of the country's best known celebrities.

Fracking is a hugely controversial technique for extracting natural gas from under the ground. Critics have warned that the drilling destabilises the Earth and causes tremors and subsidence, which could damage people's homes for miles around.

There have been reports of potential buyers pulling out of deals after discovering that fracking could take place nearby.

Despite this, the Government has granted exploration and drilling licenses to fracking companies near some of Britain's most exclusive neighbourhoods and best-loved beauty spots.

A leading property expert has warned that if property prices slump by just two per cent in areas earmarked for drilling, the total cost to the UK economy would be £75 billion.

However, others have previously raised fears that prices could plummet by as much as 30 per cent - the same drop homeowners living near the proposed HS2 railway line have had to endure.

If even just five per cent was wiped off house prices in affected areas, the toll would be a staggering £287.5 billion loss in value

I think the government wants fracking ????

[rogerlin] 15/7/2015 19:25

10% still held by Nautical, now Cairn, surely they can't be interested in this any more?

Faster Fracking:-

The Government plans to allow Fracking companies to drill boreholes and test groundwater without planning permission and whilst planning permission for fracking is sought thereby speeding up the ability of companies to start fracking by at least a year(fracking companies are required to monitor ground water for contaminants for a year before fracking can take place)
Also considering allowing access to national park areas via horizontal drilling.

Reported in the Times, today Page 21.

We will inform shareholders of progress at key points during the EWT, with the first update anticipated to be the results of the pumped testing of the Ashover Grit.

This was to take "up to 28" days (from 18th June) and so could come at any time.

Also , stop shouting and say please when you ask for help.

More cut and paste rubbish after school.
The forums are owned by those that use them. Some may choose to police them to prevent idiots from abusing them. I for one am not going to stand by and see the boards ruined by people with there own agendas. People who have no interest in buying shares , people who have to keep changing their handle , people who edit their posts to prevent them looking even more stupid , people who can't turn the caps lock off. This thread is for discussing Egdon Resources , not posting anti-fracking spam.
Incidentally , if you came into my local pub shouting like you do on here , I'd throw you out of there as well.

FRACKING LIKELY TO WIPE 7% OFF THE PRICE OF HOMES ACCORDING TO A SECRET GOV REPORT.



I MAY BUY AT LOWER PRICES AS I DO EXPECT FRACKING TO TAKE OFF BUT NOT FOR YEARS - THE FRACKING SP'S HAVE TUMBLE WHEN FOOLS THAT WERE RANTING "FILL YA BOOTS" WHERE BUYING HIGH - TIMINIG IS THE KEY, I EITHER HIT IT AND MAKES LAODS OF MORE DOSH OR MISS IT, THEN NO WORRIES - I WONDER WHEN PEOPLE WILL GET THEIR MONEY PACK THAT BOUGHT LOT HIGHER THAN CURRENT PRICES

FOX YOU

PS - VERY SADLY AND VERY FACTUALLY, THOSE THAT HAVE SUNK MOST, ALL OR EVEN BORROWED MONEY INTO FRACKING ARE PROBABLY SITTING ON LOSES THEY CAN'T STOMACH

PS - I KNOW OF SOMEONE THAT MADE MONEY ALMOST EVERYTIME SHE INVESTED IN AIM SHARES, THEN GOT STUCK, WAS TOPPING UP AND FOLLOWING FOOLS IN A BLINKERED MANNER - ALMOST LOST EVERYHTING

FREE TIP, ONLY PUT MONEY INTO SHARES THAT YOU CAN AFFORD TO LOSE AS ITS ALWAYS A REAL POSSIBLITY OF ANY CO, ESEPCIALY SMALLER COMPANIES
THANKS

Sorry to anyone who reads this board for news and opinions on EDR. Bear with me , it will be worth it in the end. I know that Curry , the thread creator agrees with me. We got rid of him/her a few months back when the cut and paste spam became unbearable , now they are having another go with a new handle.

[bionicdog] 06/7/2015 20:37

FU
You got that wrong then. Even going back and editing your posts , you still get it wrong. Have another go if you want , I won't tell anyone. Slow down , read the posts , take the caps lock off.
Also , I get the feeling that you're trying to threaten me. Is that what you are trying to do? I can't see how sending me your number is a threat.
Honestly , it's like being threatened by John Inman.
