We need the gas more than we need some 'small, colourful minnows'.
Russia has shown what it will do to gas supplies to countries it disagrees with- and we're not getting on well with Russia.
Bulk delivery gas tanker ships from the Middle East and Morocco- how vulnerable and unreliable can you get? If Syria detonates the Mediterranean there goes a lot of our gas and oil.
We're running out of our own gas and oil( it never covered us 100% even on full flow.)
We've signed up to green policies we can't meet, so we're shutting down the coal power stations, we have only one potential nuclear station supplier left and they want such exorbitant terms we'll have to sit in the dark. Before one is switched on(a rolling ten years) we'll run out anyway- invest now in a candle company
Renewable energy- how many windless days have we had during this lovely summer? Too many to keep your fridge running on green energy even if we covered every field with turbines- and we couldn't afford that electricity either.
In the UK the fracking companies are obliged to declare what goes in the fluid and we are preparing more stringent rules than the US has.
I have no fears of fracking, people forget we have been fracking in the UK since the 60's and no-one even noticed.
We need it desperately, the sooner we get it on stream the better.
