Our Fracking Portal aims to guide you around some of the companies, lobbyists and think tanks involved in the fracking industry.
The UK Government is backing fracking, despite protests up and down the country.
When Theresa May became prime minister in July 2016 she vowed to represent the concerns of ordinary people over big vested interests.
Yet several months later her communities secretary Sajid Javid overturned Lancashire county council’s refusal of plans for fracking firm Cuadrilla's test wells in the Fylde near Blackpool.
Our fracking portal explores who is pulling the strings behind the scenes.
