Is it now time to frack? Let us know by casting your vote below
Fracking enjoys widespread support in Britain, according to a new survey.
Research carried out by the research group Populus for UK Onshore Oil and Gas (UKOOG) found that 57 per cent were in favour of the controversial tachnique which extracts shale gas from the ground.
The poll quizzed 4,000 people and found that 16 per cent were opposed, with just over a quarter (27 per cent) undecided.
The poll shows that the public would like to see the government use both shale gas and renewables to meet the country’s energy requirements.

A lie, whereas to you it’s a tactic. You’re the one who wants to shut the UK down, based on nothing more than a desire to profit after all.

Keep lying about the risks assumed by the government and taxpayer.
You strongly support the current system, just replacing North Sea gas with Fracked gas, at lower risk to companies and a lower tax rate.
You’re a high-bill fanatic who’s also talked about shutting the UK down.

Ah, you’d replace them all with higher CFD’s no doubt.
And yes, you seek to economise on Humans, so that the survivors of your shut-down UK will work for free. You’ve said so, after all.
And your holding companies makes the cash, right.

No CFDs either. A proper competitive market, not one rigged by politicians and bureaucrats. Ed Davey should jail himself for market rigging.
