Fracking: The Big Question. Exploring The Concerns.

Graham Liver

Available for over a year

If there's one thing we know for certain about the issue - it's that any drilling for shale gas in the North West will be met with noisy and angry protests. Anti-fracking activists say the technique of drilling for natural gas underground is a threat to the environment and public health. BBC Radio Lancashire's Mat Trewern explores some of the concerns over fracking and why some people are so passionately opposed to it.
