A leaked report has suggested that little progress has been made in reducing arthquakes caused by fracking

The video discusses the lifting of a fracking ban in Lancashire, causing local dismay. Residents like Chris and Susan Holiday oppose the move, citing unchanged scientific evidence since the 2019 moratorium due to earthquakes. A leaked report suggests other industries cause more seismic activity than fracking. Activists fear looser regulations amid a climate crisis, while the government plans new oil and gas licenses, contradicting its net-zero commitment. Critics argue the UK is regressing by seeking more fossil fuels instead of focusing on renewables.
