Stop fracking

[Gelsons Dad]

Hydraulically fractured wells make up 43% of the oil and 67% of the current natural gas production in the United States. The most litigious country in the world.

According to the World Bank, as of November 2012, the increased gas production due to horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing in the US had driven US gas prices down to less than one-third of natural gas prices in Europe.

Want lower energy prices? Get Fracking now!

You're a fool if you think it will lower energy prices. All it will mean is the energy companies get their gas a lot cheaper and still have the cheek to increase their prices each winter. Basically they get a shit load richer.

This is a misunderstanding/misrepresentation. US fossil fuels are sold in the US, UK fossil fuels are sold on the international market. Has North Sea oil and gas brought prices down? Fracking would be the same.

Gelson's Dad likes it, ergo I don't support it, let's not frack.

Anything that upsets the Eco terrorists n the loony left is fine by me.

More fracking

So people don't want facking, near them,they don't want wind turbines, they don't want nuclear, unless it's on the other side of the country.something has to give.

I'd welcome wind turbines, solar and geothermal where I live as, unlike with fracking (and nuclear), there is no risk of longterm, dispersed pollution.

It is all well and good to blandly say fracking is safe and would be regulated, but it requires huge amounts of water which has to go somewhere and it only takes one leak to pollute the groundwater - in our water-poor part of the country where the majority of the water is obtained from aquifers. I've been to Balcombe. The drilling site is just a mile or so from, and up above, Ardingly Reservoir, one of only two reservoirs in the region.

Not sure you've thought that through.

I didn't say it was safe but no matter what type of power is earmarked for an area you will get people kicking off.they just don't want it in there area. Where I live I can see wind turbines and I don't have a problem, also we have one of the largest solar platforms about 2 km away.yes these type don't harm the environment as other type of power supplies but we still got activists campaigning about the wildlife.

Sorry, my second paragraph was addressing points raised by others in this thread.

No don't apologise, I don't know enough to give a view on fracking, but what is almost certain if there's enough oil and money to be made it will happen.

Bump.
