To propose that the National Assembly for Wales:

substantial contribution to the UK's energy portfolio.
2. Regrets the provisions within the UK Government's
Infrastructure Bill that will allow fracking companies to drill beneath Welsh
homes without permission from property owners.
3. Believes that energy should be fully devolved to
the National Assembly for Wales and that the Welsh Government should have the
power to block fracking.
4. Calls on the Welsh Government to do everything
within its power to prevent fracking from taking place in Wales until it is
proven to be safe in both an environmental and public health context.
