Horizon program was very good …
Earth quakes … coal industry produces loads and no one cares
Contaminated water … if you have a direct water supply to your property… how many of us have a well ??
Nat Gas is so cheap in the US that in some locations, where they are actually drill for shale oil, they burn the “waste product” gas off … beacause it’s not economical to transport it for sale.
The resultant price drop in Nat Gas has reduced the price of coal, it’s main competitor fuel for power generation.
Cheap power in the US is leading to manu and jobs returning from developing countries, where labour may be cheap but power isn’t.
And back to shale oil … the US could well become be the world’s largest oil producing country.
Now, remind me why/what did we fight the Iraq wars for again ??
