However, there was five days of 12 hour blockades which has slowed them down tremendously. Here's a quick round up of the events of last week... ... read full story / add a comment ![]()

Editor: Fracking is technology used for extracting natural gas trapped in rocks underground and is the process of forcing liquids and solids into the rock and forcing it to crack and thereby releasing the gas.
