The UK's leading fracking firm INEOS has been accused of threatening Nottinghamshire landowners with legal action if they refuse the company access to conduct shale gas exploration on their property.
An Energydesk investigation uncovered emails alleging INEOS was 'bullying' landowners, including the National Trust.
INEOS plans to frack across the north of England, and is about to start seismic testing in Sherwood forest. It has licenses to explore for shale gas as close as 200m to the Major Oak, a 1,000-year-old tree that hid Robin Hood from the Sheriff of Nottingham, according to local legend.
