For the good of our country and so as not to help Putin I have signed this.

We want the Government to allow fracking to proceed in England, and implement planning reforms to enable shale gas developments.

[Derrick Hughes]

Agreed

 

[Devil's advocate]

Boris ordered the bore holes to be filled with concrete.

I hope to God, no one was available

Plenty of gas still in the North Sea, but who would commit to investing when Nicola wants to stop oil and gas and get independence.

Dumb move
Better option is to wean ourselves off petrochemicals & our ever increasing energy consumption

Sure, but the europes weaning strategy was to have a tap from Russia that we could just take as much as we needed and gradually cut it back. That’s not an option anymore.

 

[Barleycorn]

I think we only get a very small amount of gas from Russia, getting it by the boatload from the Middle East now with the new trade deals.

When faced with unaffordable energy prices, and the choice is fracking/drilling, coal power stations etc, or climate change action reversal, l rather think the former will win. One is today, the other sometime in the future.
and l signed.

some of these new trade deals are quite good then.
you hear doom and gloom for UK ag, with these deals, but there's nothing we can do, except moan, and that is ignored. Transport costs will render imported product, dearer, transport from NZ to UK x3. And the emerging economies of the east, are a damn site nearer than us. And after today, absolutely anything could happen, right down to a general european full scale war.
And then, of course, it will be 'good old British farmers', my comment about that, is simply unprintable.

Scoring a hit elsewhere is not weaning yourself off a problem

Plenty of natural resources here , just the activists and green agendas possibly.

Nothing to do with new trade dealsLNG has always been out there but something like twice the price of Russian gas

This is the here and now. We can transition all we like in future.

 

[renewablejohn]

Looking on gridwatch gas has been curtailed to minimum levels for a while now with coal being utilised whereas in previous years the coal would have been turned off. Gas is not the problem its the lack of storage capacity which we now struggle with. Easily sorted if government pulled its fingers out as we have plenty of redundant gas fields which could be utilised for storage. Also plenty of coal which can be turned into gas and a lot of other useful products.

It is not her decision, just her current stance to get the Greens to prop her and her band of intellectuals up and create further division in Scotland, plus independence or planning for it may not be the best allocation of Government resource if war in Europe drags on or spreads.

 

[Tim W]

No---but i want to
1) discourage new ways of obtaining oil
2) encourage people to use less energy in general

So not tomorrow but maybe next week
