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.

Yes, and China is now investing heavily in renewables, but you don’t want to admit that. Like other flat earthers, you want to use China as an excuse to do nothing.

True enough. The regular YouGov polling shows that opposition to fracking is growing.

And Lilley is a well known nut on this – with interests in the status quo.

Yawn. Predictable climate denier cliches, pretending to care about poverty.

Germany is moving heavily to lignite (very dirty) coal.
And Gas-backed solar is rising slowly, at major expense, replacing imported energy (while at the same time they export some energy…not logical at all)
