They say there is about 80,000,000 tons of coal under the UK, and the knowledge to convert it into petrol for cars fitted with catalytic converters is at least 80+ years old, and precipitator filters fitted to coal burning power stations filter out 100% of the the chemicals that can be re-claimed and re-used, so whats the problem?
I live in the 'ring of fire' where earthquakes are frequent, daily at times, and even the little ones do not destabilise the earth's core and damage the ozone layer. Fracking charges are nothing in comparison. However, Green 'scientists' always but always seem to allude to the substrata as being some pristine and fragile layer that nobody disturbed with blasting as they mined it for resources, and a feck-off big moon was not stirring the core 24/7 365 days a year for millennia. Lining the pockets of the French? I praise your Brexit stoic, but what they earn does not cost the UK taxpayer anywhere near as much as importing oil, with money that could be used for other things.
The unions making it cheaper to import from abroad.They say their is about 80,000,000 tons of coal under the UK, and the knowledge to convert it into petrol for cars fitted with catalytic converters is at least 80+ years old, and precipitator filters fitted to coal burning power stations filter out 100% of the the chemicals that can be re-claimed and re-used, so whats the problem?
No wider strategy required than power-outs in mid winter and at the height of summer.
Can you explain this for me please.
Isn't it a French company who got the contract to carry out the Fracking in the UK?
Nope.

No. The main company involved was Cuadrilla who are a privately owned British company.
The other company who had a major interest in UK shale was INEOS.
Cuadrilla, sounds like something from a horror movie.Nope.
About Cuadrilla – Cuadrilla Resources
Formed in the UK in 2007, Cuadrilla is a privately owned British exploration and production company focused on discovering and recovering natural resources, primarily natural gas, from shale rock.
Cuadrilla aims to be a model company for exploring and developing shale gas in the UK. We are acutely aware of the responsibilities this brings, particularly with regard to safety, environmental protection and working with local communities. Shale gas exploration and development can be carried out safely, securely and in an environmentally responsible way, and we will do that, so that as a country we have less need to use coal to generate electricity and import less gas from overseas.
The company currently has onshore exploration licences in the North and South of the UK. You can find out more about our sites here.
Cuadrilla is owned 96% by AJ Lucas, an Australian specialist service provider to the energy, mining and infrastructure sector and the remaining 4% by Cuadrilla employees (including former employees). The company is registered in the UK. You can view our latest report and accounts here.
Francis Egan is the Cuadrilla CEO.
Maggie is revolving at speed in the grave. The miners are back, and Arthur is still alive..(Just) And all because of the Russians..They say there is about 80,000,000 tons of coal under the UK, and the knowledge to convert it into petrol for cars fitted with catalytic converters is at least 80+ years old, and precipitator filters fitted to coal burning power stations filter out 100% of the the chemicals that can be re-claimed and re-used, so whats the problem?
Out of 26 Nuclear Power Stations that have been decommissioned...only four have been actioned by this government...might I suggest 'governments'. A bit like the mythical Coal mines that Thatcher shut...blame the other side first !Credit where credit due,
When EDF took over the nuclear power stations in the UK, most of them were due to close,
EDF spent around £30 million on extending the life of the plants.
This mess we are in is all down to the government,
Nuclear Lifetime Management
EDF's lifetime strategy is to seek life extensions for all its nuclear stationswww.edfenergy.com
But there are six nuclear plants due to shut down over the next few years, there were 7 plants, one has already gone, then the S**T will hit the fan
Decommissioning agreement reached on advanced gas cooled reactor (AGR) nuclear power stations
The UK government and EDF have agreed improved arrangements to safely and efficiently decommission Britain’s 7 AGRs, due to reach the end of their operational lives this decade.www.gov.uk
The Bowland Shale (properly called the Bowland-Hodder shale) extends into parts of Lincolnshire.
You are right, I should have added an S, Out of 26 Nuclear Power Stations that have been decommissioned...only four have been actioned by this government...might I suggest 'governments'. A bit like the mythical Coal mines that Thatcher shut...blame the other side first !
I don't think the Maggie has to much to worry about, the cost of re-opening the mines, or locating new seams even open cast, and extracting, transporting it by rail, and possibly refining it into petrol, is prohibitive, and where today would you get the workforce to go down the pit. Could you see or even envisage tech savvy 18 year old modern "yoofs" getting their hands dirty, 1000 feet below ground, " it ain't gonna happen bruv!" and the government have more pressing things to spend OUR money on, like an obscene pay rise for themselves, and pissing it up the wall in oversees aid.Maggie is revolving at speed in the grave. The miners are back, and Arthur is still alive..(Just) And all because of the Russians..
I was stationed at RAF Hemswell in the early 1960s, there was one of those nodding donkey
