O/T Frack me

[KerrAvon]

Yes I know all about winter fog as I used to live there But not still for several weeks I can assure you that - several days perhaps. The unresolved issue with fracking is twofold - firstly it is not guaranteed to be safe enough either during or once the operation has left site - still too many unanswered questions and problems - and secondly all fossil feels are finite - what are we going to do with our current supplies when they suddenly run out? we need to diversify now - including ways of reducing as far as we can our energy consumption. There is a much wider debate and issue which the OP did not mention - hmmm....��

If you have lived in the Vale of York and are aware of how foggy it gets, why were you making enquiries of your step son?

Fracking has been heavily used in the USA - possibly the most litigious country in the world. I've not heard of any class actions arising out it being unsafe.

Yes, we do need to address climate change and the fact that fossil fuels are finite. My point is that simply building wind turbines and covering rooves and fields with solar panels isn’t an answer.
