    Building a new reactor at Hinkley Point and another one potentially in the mix at Sizewell. I’m working for a firm on the supply chain perimeter of Hinkley Point C.

      Maybe if we frack in a straight line across the region the top half will shear off and we solve the west Lothian question?

        The Zohr gas field discovered in the last couple of years off Egypt's coast is amongst the largest ever recorded. Exported gas will be plenty cheap and easy since it's only a matter of sailing out of the med and round the corner. It'll be far cheaper than can be achieved with the fracking process. Why or why is the government not negotiating for plenty cheap energy supply from Egypt instead of tearing up the countryside? When you don't have an engineer or scientist in the government there'll never be any educated decisions made.

          It may be cheaper on paper, but is it not economically more sensible to produce energy rather than import it? The jobs boost to local economies alone would be far more beneficial. Then there's all that lovely tax. I'm willing to bet the Treasury can't wait for fracking to start in earnest...

            Go to Egypt and look around, 99.9999% desert.

              Well done for clearly not reading either Scooty's post or mine. The gas is offshore, for starters, and what does Egypt being largely desert have to do with the economic argument for producing, rather than importing energy?
