Fracking in Lancashire......

[FatAlan]

I’d have to bow to your superior knowledge on this one Alan, I was only attempting a rough outline for gaz

TBH Baddegg I know very little about the subject. Just googled it a few days ago to try and find out more. Must admit that if it was happening on my doorstep I’d probably be objecting.

Still more than me mate,
If it happened in my area we’d all fall in the sea ha ha ha,personally I think they should be investing the money in renewables but what do I know.....

I would agree,if that "investment" was practically thought out,and benefited the job...not just a promise of "earning cash" for them giving and getting a signature...

Cue a whole possibly beneficial application,now mired in cons,legal wrangles,multiple insolvency's,vandalised properties,crippling ongoing debt structures and,more worryingly,a generation of property owners,who will only see it as an expensive problem.

Yep,it's PV ... PPI .2

The thing about Fracking that has been discovered through its application elsewhere but seldom written about is that it's a damned expensive process on a lot of fronts. You need a lot of seriously heavy industry as well as the know how to go with it. Then you have to take all this to your fracking site and set it up. Then your fracking site gets drained of its resources fairly quickly and you need to set down and move to the next site. Since these sites are normally very rural, the roads aren't up to much. So by the time you take into consideration the difficulty of extracting gas, the damage to the roads and the local environment and all other costs they reckoned they effectively broke even at some of the sites in America... but it reduced their reliance on imported gas so I guess that makes it worthwhile, right?
