They really won't be pleased until this planet is fooked up beyond repair for future generations will they?
We are a ruddy island..use the sea, the tide comes in the tide goes out, can't be that hard to sort out. Every house that is built, make it law to have solar panels on the roof. Use the natural resources that are harmless, fracking could do no end of damage. |

I can see why people are up in arms about this, but at the same time we're all energy junkies.

Good on the council for thinking in the interests of the people and not being frightened to stand up to companies for once!

Read a good article today about how when the lights go out in Britain the cheery locals will be popping open champagne bottles at having prevented another energy project in their area. No one wants fracking in their communities, no one wants windmills or solar panels for blighting the landscape, people don't want tidal power in the Severn because it will disrupt the birds, coal power stations get targeted by Greenpeace nuts, and we've not had a nuclear power station built in this country for over twenty years. Like Livia said we're all energy junkies but when it's our back garden that gets threatened everyone grabs for the nearest pitchfork.

'people' are increasingly aware of an energy crisis, even in the leafy burbs they're waking up especially as they realise that fracking will soon be coming to a town near them.... on our doorstep? That will have everyone reaching for the placards and pitchforks yes.

'Large areas of Yorkshire, the north-west and the east Midlands are to be opened up to fracking after the government announced it will offer a fresh round of licences for oil and gas exploration.
Areas near Leeds, Sheffield, Lincoln and Nottingham are to be offered to companies in an expansion plan that green groups predicted would trigger “hundreds of battles” over the future of the countryside.' Brilliant :/ Get that tank up here Viv! he want to frack us now as well as slag us off the twonk! http://www.theguardian.com/environme...round-licences

Never underestimate the power of the nimby |

Wasn't Mr Cameron accused of that for not fracking on his doorstep?

Whatever the solution is. More oil and gas isnt it.
The profits made by the oil industry is sickening when you think of how much could be done with that money to further research and development into alternatives. |

BP blocked that nay wories
Meanwhile in a sleepy village the earth moved....is dave screwing piggums? No. it's an earthquake. An earthquake with a magnitude of 2.8 has been recorded in Rutland in the east Midlands. The epicentre of the quake was north of Oakham, with residents also reporting feeling the tremor in Northamptonshire. The British Geological Survey said the quake struck at 10.40pm on Tuesday. It is the second time this year the area has been shaken by tremors, with a 3.8-magnitude earthquake recorded in January.' 'Harriet Brookes said: “Another earthquake! Why do we seem to have so many recently?” Answers on a postcard to #stopeffingfrackingffs http://www.theguardian.com/world/201...e-hits-rutland

'A Northamptonshire MP says the controversial technique of fracking is safe and would be welcome in Northamptonshire. Brian Binley, the Conservative MP for Northampton South, says the alleged dangers of fracking are a nonsense and the technique is essential to solving Britain's energy crisis. Other Northamptonshire MP's agree and so does MEP Roger Helmer.' 17 April 2014 People in Northamptonshire felt an earthquake this morning that measured 3.2 on the Richter scale. The epicentre of the earthquake was Oakham in Rutland but tremors were felt in Northamptonshire, in particular the Corby area.' http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01dt1dp http://www.northamptonchron.co.uk/ne...hire-1-6006308
