Welcome to the Fracking Portal on Powerbase


The UK Government is backing fracking, despite wide protests up and down the country. This portal aims to guide you around some of the fracking companies, lobbyists, think tanks and lobby groups leading its 'all out for shale' charge.

When Theresa May became prime minister in July 2016 she vowed to stand up for the rights 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 Cuadrilla's test wells in the Fylde.

Our fracking portal explores who is pulling the strings behind the scenes.

Powerbase has a policy of strict referencing and is overseen by a managing editor and a sysop. The editor of the Fracking Portal is Melissa Jones. Email: melissa.jones AT Powerbase.info.

Can you help?

Powerbase can be made more effective if more people join the project. If you have research or writing skills or just spare time, you can help.

If you are unsure where to start, you could expand some of the recently created but currently very brief articles. (If you look at the recent changes page you will see some noted as being 'stubs' - articles that may just be a line or two and needing to be fleshed out). So if you would like to add to some of those you would be most welcome.

There is an automatically updated page which includes the pages which have been signalled by Powerbase users as most wanted. In addition there is a page which includes a list of Things you can do to help.

Or if you would like some other suggestions closer to your interests you could drop Powerbase managing editor, Melissa Jones an email.
