English: Swanson Drilling making hole in south Texas (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

In case you missed the first blog, this a series of blogs about the reality of fracking. Fracking is coming to the UK soon, perhaps to your neighbourhood.

Let me introduce Pit, who is a German expat who lives in Southern Texas. In this series of blogs, Pit describes his feelings as they started fracking across the road from his house in Texas.

Perhaps, the technology might be slightly different in the UK, but this is likely to be what happens when fracking arrives in town.

Here are links to some of Pit’s blogs, describing how his Christmas 2011 will always be remembered:

They’ll be drilling soon

Thanks Pit!

Also thanks to the efforts of David Cameron’s Government, fracking will be  coming to rural England soon.

Any thoughts?
