Emotions Running High At Fracking Protest

Hundreds of people have gathered to protest against fracking in North Yorkshire as the council decides whether to allow the controversial method of gas extraction. If the application by UK firm Third Energy is approved, drilling could begin at a site near the village of Kirby Misperton in Ryedale this year. It would be the first fracking to take place in the UK since the drilling was found to be the probable cause of minor earthquakes near Blackpool in 2011.
