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.

You are expecting them to pay you as a 1%er. I am not in favour of your policy of raising prices, and I am not in favour of your policy of offloading the cost of AGCC onto the poor either.

Indeed, that’s your plan, coal, when the gas boom turns out to be not such a boom.

You’re a MP, pushing coal and gas? What a surprise! Then you blame everyone else for your legal structure which causes a price escalator, and then for some reason remind him you’re making a profit off the land as well.
Then you insult him by trying to compare yourself – a 1%er, in Monaco, with a British 99%er..
Then you want more fake “competition”, i.e. to allow you to force prices even higher.

So you’re invested in coal, and making cash off it in China, no surprise. You’ll fight any rise in alternate power generation methods there, as you lie about the percentages…
And I am not you, I am not denying AGCC as you are.

You “suggest” that he supports your policy, which is coal and gas in the long term, rather than very short term bridging.
You’ve shown hostility to nuclear power, preferring coal. For your profits.
