Ditto those that oppose - mainly concerns about 'natural environment', up 12% since last time

*all* other measures of concern down on last time. This is clearly the grounds the frackers need to fight on/are losing on

Also interesting to see reasons given by the large UK majority that oppose fracking (HT

At least in the US the anti fracking movement has never really had that much climate focus. Much more about seepage/earthquakes/NIMBY.

Amazing that the majority of those in favour are still concerned about Carbon Budgets. Got some work to do there!

Cheaper bills and reduced CO2 are fallacies along similar lines to the £350m Brexit Bus promise. We need a better informed public!
