SUNAK bans fracking
 

he has overturned Truss decision personally i think he will live to regret that,?

Re: SUNAK bans fracking
 

Me as well.

Re: SUNAK bans fracking
 

He is too rich and privileged to regret anything Cashy.
If things don’t work out for him he is in a position to move anywhere in the world he wants.
Being PM is just a fad…a hobby, a game….something that if he gets fed up of….well, he isn’t in it for the salary is he?

Re: SUNAK bans fracking
 

you may well be right margaret.

Re: SUNAK bans fracking
 

I agree with Sunak.

I've a mate in Blackpool who lives near the Cuadrilla site, he told me that he felt a couple of quakes back in the day when they were exploring. I did a bit of research back then and although the quakes were negligible from the exploratory drill, my main concern was the risk of toxicity to the water table if it was allowed to continue.

We have access to tidal, solar, and wind power....this along with battery storage is where the research should be focused. Meanwhile we can build a couple of nuclear power plants to tide us over..(we turned London into an Olympic village in 7 years between winning the bid and hosting the opening ceremony....anyone care to explain why we cant build a couple of Nuclear plants to power the country in the same time frame)

Twenty or so years ago I visited Dinorwig in Wales, given the advances in battery storage, if we'd had the foresight to build more of these hydroelectric plants we'd be quids in now....

...then again you could use a high pressure hosepipe to move underground rocks to get at pockets of gas, notwithstanding that these rocks may be the supporting walls of Ullswater or Windermere.

Re: SUNAK bans fracking
 

The tidal energy would be safe, plentiful and sure….it would not be a blot on the landscape like those vast wind turbines that have a short life span and no way of disposing or recycling them.
I have bern going over to Blackpool a lot recently…I have seen new housing developments taking shape.
How many of them are built with photovoltaic panels(these can convert any light into energy)?
None!! Not a single one. Why would be the question….and I can only think the answer is that it may add to the cost of the build….but this would be recouped by the energy savings of generating your own power…with perhaps some to spare.

Why isn’t the government promoting these panels for existing houses?

There has been a hoo-ha about insulating houses….and yes insulation is important, but when you insulate a house so that it is warmer than the outside environment you get condensation, damp and mould.
My daughter had never had any real issues with damp and mould until she had cavity wall insulation.
She thought she was doing the right thing by upgrading her insulation, but it has created more problems for her.
Insulation is important , but so is ventilation in a climate like ours.

I have never been in favour of Fracking because of the risks to the water table.
Energy has to be safe….and I think that Fracking is dangerous for the environment.

Re: SUNAK bans fracking
 

back in the day, they said Coal pits were.

Re: SUNAK bans fracking
 

Coal pits were dangerous all round Cashy.
Back then we did not have the technology or the know how to use anything else…it was coal, or wood or coal gas….electricity for lighting the wireless but nothing much heavy.
Most folk had gas cookers…..gas boilers(I mean those big things with a copper lid and were used to boil clothes or heat water for the tin bath on a Friday).

Re: SUNAK bans fracking
 

i loved working down the pit.

Re: SUNAK bans fracking
 

Yes, but it was a dangerous place Cashy…even more so back then

Re: SUNAK bans fracking
 

i was never worried to be honest, to me it was just about using Common Sense.same as this virus now.

Re: SUNAK bans fracking
 

Cashy…common sense is a super power.

Re: SUNAK bans fracking
 

That must have been before "Ivor Jeremiah" told you that you and Pat Varley were surplus to Requirements I presume. At least I think that is right, but you will no doubt confirm or deny that Cashy,;);)

Re: SUNAK bans fracking
 

we used to sup Correct taddy,Pat was a good mate of mine.but i left before pat.we used to sup together in the Black Bull in accy me pat roy wallis trevor.etc.

Re: SUNAK bans fracking
 

Oh my goodness…I remember well those names.Patrick Varley and Roy Wallis were the ‘bad boys’ of my class…I know that Patrick died some time ago, but have never seen or heard anything of Roy.

Re: SUNAK bans fracking
 

Absolutely Correct Margaret, I well remember Roy Wallace coming out with the comment at school playtime, "My mummy says I'm a hooligan "and being very proud of the Monica.

Re: SUNAK bans fracking
 

Am I correct in thinking that Pay Varleys Mother was called Mary and she worked at "Redac" brickworks in Huncoat in the mid 50s. by the way who is/was the Trevor, Etc.

Re: SUNAK bans fracking
 

he was actually called brian trevifick dunno if thats spelt right, he lived on blackburn rd just past sacred heart church on other side of rd. aint seen either of them for about 40 yrears,so dunno if they are still around. everyone called him trev.

Re: SUNAK bans fracking
 

Don't know that name Cashy.

Re: SUNAK bans fracking
 

when i knew him i thought he was called Trevor for a long while lol think he moved oer Padiham.

Re: SUNAK bans fracking
 

A very probable reason is control. They're more interested in brainwashing everyone into installing "SMART" Meter's which have yet to prove they save anyone any money. Limit use, sure. Psychologically restricting how to live a comfortable life.

This "green" agenda is getting very confused about normal Weather Cycles. Remember when they threatened everybody with a new Ice Age we're still waiting for? SMART Meter's will also allow them to turn off or ration energy supply & usage at any Political whim, with plausible sounding excuses of course.


Our two Geology experts are wrong about sunak's decision. They'd quickly change their tune if they lived in Blackpool and their drinking water suddenly tastes like sewage, after the earthquakes have damaged their home foundation rendering the whole building unsafe and them homeless.

Re: SUNAK bans fracking
 

i would not touch a smart meter with a BARGEPOLE, i know a few thats had them and wish they never bothered.

Re: SUNAK bans fracking
 

I am with you Cashy on Smart meters…..they do not save you money unless you see how much something you use is costing you, are horrified and turn it off.

I have just has one of my power bills…the gas I used cost £9, but the standing charge was £7…..if they removed the standing charge or set it at a fixed rate, then all energy bill would fall and everyone would benefit.

I am very frugal in my use of energy.
We are at the 19th of November and tonight is the first time I have put my central heating on.
Oh yes, I ran it for an hour just before my other half was discharged from Blackpool Vic….just to check it was working well.

While he has been in there I have not had the TV on…..and the washer has had a holiday too.
The only way to keep energy bills down is to use less.

Re: SUNAK bans fracking
 

Nice chilly day with a bit of sun over here on the Fylde.
So where the UK get most of its ‘sustainable’ energy from today?
Wind?…Nah, a mere 7%.
Solar surely…..er,……0%
Oh no, it was that horrid, dirty stuff gas. Again.

Re: SUNAK bans fracking
 

What a surprise!
The globalist scam merchants take most of their temperature ‘data’ (sic) from thermometers placed alongside runways or within highly urbanised settings and, guess what, the world is burning and we’re all doomed.
The UK’s so-called record temperatures this year were both recorded at airports (RAF Coningsby and Heathrow), with the former suddenly jumping over six minutes, then immediately declining.

Remember, when they talk about net zero, they’re talking about our wallets.

Re: SUNAK bans fracking
 

Well, who’d have thought it?
A government/governments who want to lie to the electorate by publishing dubious data.
Never happened before has it???
I trust very little that I am told…unless I can see the evidence i.e. ‘it is dark’ I can check that out.

Re: SUNAK bans fracking
 

im convinced SUNAK wants to go back in the e.u with the rest of the scum? cash comes first to them.

Re: SUNAK bans fracking
 

Another fantastic day for our net zero fanatics.
Wind + solar = 1% of energy demand

Re: SUNAK bans fracking
 

Net zero clowns i say.

Re: SUNAK bans fracking
 

No surprises there.
Yet the PM is considering scuppering the ban on the building of more land based wind farms.
