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.

Er, he is.
You are demanding he subsidise YOUR profits at his expense, and lying that the poor want to pay for your coal and gas, and the not so minor side effects…

We still need base load power. The real choices, in the longer term (as Germany shows) are coal or nuclear.

What a surprise, you deny science when it doesn’t make you more cash!

No, it’s a lie you’re making up, as you say that China magically won’t develop nuclear, renewables, etc.
