Originally posted by Mordac View PostIt may be cheaper on paper, but is it not economically more sensible to produce energy rather than import it? The jobs boost to local economies alone would be far more beneficial. Then there's all that lovely tax. I'm willing to bet the Treasury can't wait for fracking to start in earnest...

Why or why is the government not negotiating for plenty cheap energy supply from Egypt instead of tearing up the countryside? When you don't have an engineer or scientist in the government there'll never be any educated decisions made.

I remember people getting in a tiz when we closed in the pits in the 80's and they created big holes at much shallower depths than fracking which simply extracts the contents of sludgy shale and replaces it with sludgy mud at a mile down, way below water tables and so forth. The simple fact is that this country isn't rich or secure enough to depend on imported energy
