In the first volume of Fracking The UK, Alan Tootill discussed the threat to Britain of a new dash for gas. He concluded that the US experience shows the UK government's imposition of shale gas exploration on an unwilling public is ill-judged and unacceptable. Published in March 2013, this book remains an essential primer to fracking and how it might affect the UK.
The new volume, Fracking The UK 2 - The Storm Rages On, covers events in the UK since 2013, up to December 2016. It reports on new developments in the US and emerging information about the hazards of fracking, with reference to how this fits in with the UK government's pro-fracking climate. Political, industry and social developments in the UK are charted, with special emphasis on England, where the UK government is intent on inflicting fracking on an unwilling public.

In this new volume, Alan Tootill covers the events in the UK since 2013, and with the struggle against fracking winning the political argument in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, concentrates on the English dimension to the continuing war against an unwanted industrialisation of our countryside.
