Headline.

Fracking back on track! Controversial gas drilling to start up again in UK despite fierce local opposition. Many more sites in the country could follow after go-ahead in Yorkshire.Yeah, but I bet you all those sites are in the North

We really should take all that carbon out of the ground and burn it into the atmosphere. What could possibly go wrong?

[gonzo21]

Yeah, sod it, we're only in month 14 of successive record breaking global temperatures, might as well go out with a bang.

I saw a fracking operation last month when we were in Wisconsin. It was so sad.

All this time and money and energy they're pumping into fracking, that they could be directing into renewables instead. The industry is sick. Very very sick.

"Fossil fuel use is wrecking the planet and it'll run out eventually."
"We know"
"Good, so you agree we should invest in and develop renewable energies?"
"OMG THERE'S GAS IN THE GROUND!!"
"Sigh"

We only need to take all of the fresh water and pollute it permanently with undisclosed 'chemicals' and pump it deep underground so it pollutes all the ground water! BARGAIN!

[ffutures]

Frack the government for agreeing to this.

It will explode on them I think, there will be trouble. But it will be in the North and it will be poor people. It's so cynical, pursuing this up north, instead of the shale gas fields of the southern counties. Can't have nice rich upper middle class people taking to the streets. Those poor northern scum don't matter.

Ugh.

Sigh! :o(

Yeah. I hope there's enough motivation that the folks there can re-elect different counsellors or something.
