Probably because we have run out of other sustainable ideas. In 2050 it is possible that wind power will supply 20% of our energy, likewise wave power. What do we do in the meantime? We get our power from some unstable countries & perhaps we are in panic mode.

Wrexham has a rich industrial heritage with many coal mines, steel/iron works, breweries, a railway centre, tannery’s…now all long gone. Are we saying now that mineral extraction and industry is fine as long as it is somewhere else, or do we wish to go back to the age of the horse and cart. If the protesters had been around in the 19th century and had their way there would have been no railways, cars, electricity…the list goes on. Like it or not we have to accept that there will be new technologies of which we are suspicious, and we cant insist that all new development is done elsewhere in the world.
Fracking is now being banned in parts of the world where pollution has been a problem, even in that backwards place they call USA
For anyone who may be interested this is the report that led to this weeks ban on unconventional gas extraction in New York State. Have only flicked through it myself so far, will read it all when I get chance.

I wonder what part of the U.K., the C.E.O. Andrew Austin lives. Could it be down south or do you think maybe Gresford. Mmm, thats a tough guess.
Worried he may be a filthy Seisneg eh?
I’m so happy to see that Wrexham still retains the ‘traditional’ North Walian welcome for foreigners.Since Wrexham is probably the most Anglicised part of North Wales I presume you must be referring to our English friends who live amongst us Sheefag.
Aye, live amongst but in my experience, always quietly resented, as illustrated by ‘Grandad’s’ post.

Just reading between the lines, Grandad.
Your lines that is.Rather than reading between a forum members lines how about asking yourself why there does not seem to be any test drills currently earmarked for the likes of Knightsbridge, Kensington or Notting Hill? Could easily fit one on Hyde Park too, could be untold riches to be extracted from there for all we know. If you fancy reading between some other lines you might be forgiven for thinking that CBM & shale gas only forms under the homes of us Nimby peasants… :rolleyes:
