UK Energy Needs

While the Uk has enough shale gas to make us independent of importing gas and even exporting it to others the green Lobby are demanding our two fracking sites are sealed for good with concrete, The government is going to agree because of the green lobby who are now in charge of our energy supply which while making them feel good will drive the poor to destitution and starvation as we import more and more gas at higher and higher prices, We need to wake up and get a better balance because after all the green Lobby demands we will never be carbon free

 

The cost of shale gas is falling rapidly to such an extent that the major fracking development country USA is now self sufficient in gas and is now exporting it making huge profits, In the next 20 years we will be in the position where instead of importing 40% of our gas like today it will increase to 80% maybe 90% of our gas will be imported at world prices we will have no control over, We will have little if any energy security and at the mercy of other countries to control our supply, If we Frack here the UK will be self sufficient and have such a surplus we can sell to the world instead of buying it

 

It is a nonsense that we have one of the worlds largest oil and gas reserves but the green lobby stop us developing it, They cry renewables but never mention that in the past year the renewables left us short of energy for long periods and the carbon fuel generators had to be used again, We have to buy Electricity from France who have spare because they have over 70 nuclear power stations and are now building another bunch of them to stave off gas reliance

 

It was still a shortage because there was not enough wind to power the turbines that could easily happen again

 

I understand your comments on future electricity storage but seeing as the government closed our gas storage facilities just when it would have helped against price rises I am not confident they would do it. You have to understand the main Tory mantra they believe in most in that you allow the market to decide price

 

So you are happy to import it and use it but not happy to use our own supplies?

 

All very good and although a dream for the future we can only hope that without gas which we import from around the world at increasing costs that here on planet earth the heating and lights will not go off in the meantime and the elderly do not die in bigger amounts then they do already due to fuel poverty,
it is always the same in that those that will not suffer sit in ivory clouds making decisions for those that will
