A police officer stand watch looking quizzical under an anti-fracking sign by the gates of Quadrilla's fracking site in Lancashire. The struggle against fracking in Lancashire has been going on for years. The fracking company Quadrilla is finally ready to bring in a drill tower to start drilling and anti-frackinhg activists are waiting in front of the gates to block the equipment getting in. Fracking is a destructive and potential dangerous and highly contentious method of extracting gas and this site will be the first of many in the United Kingdom reaching miles out under ground.
