    Not the will of a few mindless, criminal protesters Shirley?

      I believe it's more important to preserve the quality of water rather than short term energy supplies.

        So not as advertised, just a regurgitation of the protesters ungrounded, unproven irrational fears?

          Cheap energy for generations? I'm not seeing a downside here...

            Once they've done with Lancash1te, any chance they move on to Yorksh1te. Hopefully we can get rid of the North in the next few years at this rate.

              Harsh. We should frack the Scots for 40 years, and then offer them a new vote on independence. If they vote "No" a second time, we'll know they're either still terrified of Sturgeon, or they'll believe absolutely anything we say. If they vote "Yes" we'll still have 40 years of oil revenues.
              I'm still not seeing a downside...

                Nor me

                I remember people getting in a tiz when we closed in the pits in the 80's and they created big holes at much shallower depths than fracking which simply extracts the contents of sludgy shale and replaces it with sludgy mud at a mile down, way below water tables and so forth. The simple fact is that this country isn't rich or secure enough to depend on imported energy

                    Agreed and we should have put a nuclear engine in the new aircraft carriers for 20+ years sailing without refuelling
