Fracking is considered so dangerous that Germany and Scotland have banned the process. The French consider it so dangerous that they have banned it not just in France but in all of their territories worldwide. Studies on the subject which have not in someway been funded by the industry state that fracking should never be considered safe where the geology of a region is fractured (the whole of the UK falls into this category), where a region is seismically active (Nottinghamshire) or where the region has previously been mined (Nottinghamshire).
