Dappy, you have tried to pull this before. The link you provided [From that famous font of knowledge, the left wing Guardian] is from 2017. The link I provided from the Dept for Business/British Geological Survey, was updated in 2019 and says the total volume of shale gas in the Bowland-Hodder reserve is some 1300 trillion cubic feet. But hey, lets ignore it and import desperately needed shale gas from thousands of miles away instead. Like I said, it's economics of the mad house. |

Good link Jonksy, problem is the people who need to watch it will refuse to watch it because they have been brainwashed by the cult of Greta. They would sooner stick their fingers in their ears and shout lalalalalalalalalalalalalala I'm not listening. |

The newspaper report is dated 20 July 2022 Red.
Have you read the report referenced and linked by BGS scientists which debunks your theory?
The estimate of 1300 trillion cuft was made in 2013. Your link from 2019 referred to that survey. No one apart from you now believes it to be accurate

Well no, they weren't. Pollution went up the chimney, the station wasn't full of it. But with investment and as technology improved, pollution was being reduced all the time. At great cost coal power stations in this country from the early 2000's onwards were fitting all sorts of scrubbers and flu gas desulphurisation devices* which massively reduced flue gas emissions, and the industry were spending £millions on R&D to reduce it further. But it was all thrown away, the government decided that in order to look virtuous coal power stations would close and the UK would rely on French electricity and Russian gas. What a plan that turned out to be. * In 2007 at a cost of £75 million the station I worked at bolted on an FGD plant (Flue Gas Desulphurisation) which reduced emissions by 90% and more pollution reduction plans were in the pipeline. Still a dirty way to produce energy. |

The one thing that I refuse to be influenced by is a one sided rant, a rant that excludes the pros and cons of a subject. Such rants are for the small minded people with fixed opinions that will absorb such misguided nonsense. Having said that I'm sure I would enjoy a chat over a pint with you. |

How can you possibly say you refuse to be influenced? Your MO is very left wing, you know it everyone here knows it. Refuse to be influenced my arse. You're a screaming lefty. I will sit and chat with anyone over a pint, often do, did this evening actually. However, I sense you're a cocktail sort of a chap, and I'm not big on cocktails. |
