We're re-posting this interview with Dr Will Jackson in light of news that Caudrilla are about to restart fracking at that Preston New Road site in Lancashire.

We are reminded of the disastrous environmental effects of fracking.

A lot has happened on the issue of #Fracking in 2018. This is an interview we posted a year ago with @Will_H_Jackson of @LJMUCriminology.

Here's hoping 2019 will be the year this destructive process is finally done away with altogether.

There's an International conference (Marx 201:
Rethinking the alternative) coming up @Unipisa, if you happen to be there. Scholars from various disciplines will be "rethinking an alternative" which addresses issues of #colonialism #climate change and #Crisis Follow it @201Marx!

[Marx 201: Ripensare l’alternativa @201Marx]

Economic crises, profound inequalities in our society, in particular between the Global North and South, and the dramatic environmental issues of our time have urged several scholars and politicians to reopen the debate on the future of capitalism and the need for an alternative

[Marx 201: Ripensare l’alternativa @201Marx]

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE at the University of Pisa, 8-10 May 2019.
Marx 201: Rethinking the Alternative.

"Against the pro-fracking position, there is much more to be said for employing people in a potentially massive renewable energy sector than there is for advancing myths about job creation in socially and environmentally unviable fossil fuel extraction"
