The 29th October 2016 was a national day of action, (95 actions nationally, organized by Frack Free London, Divest London, Friends of The Earth and others, to raise public awareness that Barclays is investing in fracking. The transition into renewable energy sources is in dire need of tenacious, unwavering, dedicated financial and technological focus and yet Barclays is investing in the dangerous extraction of fossil fuels which contribute to climate change and endangers the water reserves of the UK.

Facts before Fracks
Investigating the economic realities and community impacts of fracking.
November 8th 2016 in the House of Lords

Chair: Baroness Lynne Featherstone - Liberal Democrat Energy and 
Speakers:

Jason Hunter: The alternatives for energy security?
Jason Hunter is Associate Director of Capitas Finance responsible for clean technologies, specialising in enabling organisations in the UK to reduce energy consumption and their carbon emissions. He currently works for the first UK Asset Finance company to formally commit to a climate science based carbon reduction target, in line with recommendations from the United Nations Global Compact, and works closely with organisations like the Carbon Trust, Environment Agency etc.
Fresh from speaking at the London Energy Efficiency Summit and presenting at the Clean Energy Live, Jason will be speaking on why fracking is simply not commercially viable and offer comparisons to alternative fuel sources that have been proven in many other developed nations around the world that are far more effective in providing energy security and energy pricing for consumer

The RT Revd Graham Cray: The Ethical Considerations of Fracking
The Rt Revd Graham Cray is a resident of Kirby Misperton, living half a mile from the KM8 site, which has been granted planning permission for a frack. He is an Honorary Assistant Bishop in the Diocese of York and a Visiting Fellow of St John’s College Durham.

Amy Nassif: A personal testimony of Living with Fracking.
Mrs Nassif lives in Mars, Pennsylvania with her husband and two daughters (ages 9 and 13) who attend the Mars Area Schools. Mars and the surrounding Adams Township are located in the northern suburbs of the city of Pittsburgh. Amy is a lead member of the Mars Parent Group. The Group was formed March 2014 when parents joined together to research unconventional gas drilling (fracking) and the consequences of a proposal to carry out hydraulic fracturing under the schools and develop a 6 well site half a mile from the school campus (3,200 children).
Based on research of the industry and recent catastrophic events at well sites, MPG petitioned the school board to reject the proposal from Rex Energy. The school board rejected the proposal but despite enormous opposition from parents and the local community (over 900 signatures were gathered in just three days) Rex Energy stated it would still go ahead with their proposals – as they considered it would be too expensive to locate the proposed well site further from the school campus.
The MPG believes the voices of parents and the community should be heard and the health and safety of children and communities must come above economic decisions. The Group continues their research and discusses their findings with the industry, communities, local officials, state and federal officials. Based on the research now available, MPG continue to petition for a one mile minimum buffer zone between oil and gas infrastructure and schools.
Amy will speak factually about the reality of living with fracking and the impact this has had upon Pennsylvania and her community.
