Six years after the first fracking for Shale gas event took place in the UK, not enough Shale gas has been bought to the surface to even fuel a cigarette lighter.

The problem is big on words politicians, but short on action, have been hiding behind each other
running scared of making their support for fracking known. It is a era when politicians are afraid of the press, so although they may well support fracking, they are not going to publicly say so

My View: I'm a in strong support of fracking for shale and methane gas, on a large sale (and would have no objection to it in Nottingham or Nottingham or elsewhere in the country) because reserves of North sea gas becoming depleted and one can't just rely on nuclear and renewable energy sources to meet our energy needs (in fact I'm against any more wind turbines being built) and prevent elecrical blackouts . Furthermore, it would be madness not to frack for gas, when we have alot more shale gas reserves than the U.S.A; it's just like waving goodbye to the creation of thousands jobs, and boosting our economy, considering (the demise of the coal industry in the U.K and) the fact that we we will keep having to import shale gas from the U.S.A, if we don't frack on a much larger scale than we do at the moment
