O/T The Gov, Not Fit for Fracking Purpose!!!

[Amanda_Hugg_n_Kiss]

It's really depressing how the Government continue to put their bent deals above human life and democracy. Can anyone tell me how I get plugged back into the Matrix?

There are easy decisions anymore. In a volatile world, where energy supplies are critical to support the way of life, a government that doesn't have a multi fuel strategy would be asleep at the wheel.

Thing is though money isn't real where as human life and the future of the planet is very real and we already have the technology.

like I say I really need plugging back in, please help me.

I had a very long conversation with an American environmental consultant on this very subject - we spoke for over an hour and he explained that some cities in the US had band "frigging" with the environment due water tables / pollution etc.......just crazy !

Basically - from a man that really did know his onions - he said it's stupid and should NOT be done.....invest in cleaner less damaging sources of energy !

Someone please report if there are any proposed "frighing" sites near Sandringham.....nah - thought NOT !

Personally i think we need a robust and modern energy system that quickly reduces our current reliance on the current set up. There's plenty we could do, what's wrong with having community wind turbines, stick one in every village, or vastly reducing the costs of solar power and have each roof covered with panels, the technology is already here. We could even make the turbines and panels in this country, more work, less unemployment, no brainer.

Wait a minute though, that would vastly reduce the profits made by the utility companies, oh, we can't be having that can we, so this gov't will continue the inane race to Frack for cheap gas regardless of environmental damage.

Could do with some fracking here to improve the economy and create jobs, it's done wonders for depressed areas in the U.S. like Pittsburgh.

That you are posting suggests that you are an electricity user. I'm guessing that you heat and light your home too and possibly drive a car. You are an energy user. That energy needs sourcing. Wind is unreliable, solar is great at producing energy in the middle of the summer when demand is at its lowest.

I'm not sure what technology you have in mind. Nuclear is the only reliable alternative to fossil fuels. Greenpeace and people local to proposed nuclear sites get upset about that too.

Is Sandringham in an area where fracking would be viable? If it isn't, it's hardly surprising that there are no sites there. Fracking wouldn't work where I live because my home is over granite. I live with radon gas instead.

Let's not forget that we are surrounded by an Fracking energy source being an island called water, but please someone help me forget that before I go insane.

It's a tricky one with many answers, our own efficiency also should come into play, to reduce usage of energy, thermal heat pumps, all these small things would vastly reduce our reliance on fossil fuels.
