    Ernie Rutter Professor of Structural Geology at the University of Manchester

    Ernie Rutter will speak on the controversial method of extracting natural gas from below the shale rock of Lancashire and other places – known as “fracking”.  Find out how fracking works, and whether this is Britains best chance of obtaining short-term energy security; or could it lead to groundwater pollution, and have fracking tests already caused earth tremors near Blackpool?
