Well, you're right in a sense but I'd say the reason we're pressing ahead with fracking is because oil and gas are set to run out and there needs to be an alternative to it instead of bleeding oil and gas dry and then having nothing left to use. Countries rich in oil and gas can suddenly name their price and the world is held at ransom by certain countries dotted around the world. Fracking is just complicated I think, it requires a lot of effort to make it work and that's why it's been ignored up until now. There will be initial teething problems but once it's been established how to successfully perform fracking operations in a timely and effective manner, the big companies will step in. So it's not about making bills cheaper, but about keeping them at the same price now rather than watching them shoot up dramatically because the Russias, Nigerias and Saudi Arabias of this world are suddenly in charge of the world's central heating
