I am broadly a supporter of fracking.
I would be surprised if they get away with it in the national parks, the public opposition would be enormous, they will simply have to frack in places like under your house, since this Government is looking to prevent you from opposing that from happening.
Or what about in our forests? You know the ones this Government tried to sell off, and have quietly re-introduced that notion, in the very same paper that sets out how Lord brown is going to wreck the place with fracking.
He did such a good job in the gulf of Mexico.
There’s a lot to be said for diversifying our energy sources and there’s certainly political risk from expecting to get our gas cheap from Russia for the forseeable.
We don’t get our gas from Russia.
If it drops energy prices and supports economic growth/helps pay off the national debt (which is huge and growing) then well-managed fracking could help sort out a lot of our problems
What, you think energy companies are clamouring to invest in fracking just to sell it to you cheap? 😆
