A fracking site - which could prove to be another source of energy at a time of soaring bills - has been ordered shut because it might upset owls that left years ago
Nottinghamshire County Council revoked permission for the Mission Springs site partly over fears about "breeding long-eared owls".
Wildlife experts said the owls had left the area in 2018 but the council has now told them to shut down because of a "sensitive local environment",While environmental groups have criticised fracking for being potentially unsafe to local communities and over concerns about damage to the natural environment, its proponents say it is safe if done properly and could provide an important alternative energy source during turbulent times.
And The Sun said it is thought a natural gas seam, running across northern England, could hold enough shale gas to heat millions of homes.
