On Thursday, the fracking industry was dealt a major blow as UK business secretary Greg Clark demanded that Third Energy, a spin-off of Barclays, submit their full accounting before any decision can be made on their application to frack Kirby Misperton. According to anti-fracking activist Ian R. Crane, the announcement is quite possibly a watershed moment for the campaign against “The Mother Frackers.”

Greg Clark, British Conservative MP for Tunbridge Wells and Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), has been sitting on the Barclays (trading as Third Energy) application to frack Kirby Misperton in North Yorkshire, England going on eight weeks now.
Ian R Crane, a prolific anti-fracking activist and ex-oilfield executive says Greg Clark is “not up to the job,” citing his continuous delays as a dishonest attempt to avoid making a decision.
