Fracking could power our economy for the next half century
Great idea. Now we need to make sure that local communities are properly incentivised.
We are not a rich country anymore, but extracting huge amount of natural resources can help our finances quite a bit.
The shale beds in the UK may or may nor be viable for Fracking, lots of projections and some test drilling suggest there is extractable gas but whether its in sufficient density to make it economically viable is a totally different story.
Reform like to talk a good game but whether they can deliver is an altogether different story. If you want viable gas reserves the North Sea is probably a better bet but of course that takes longer to bring on line.
It feels like rather than leading the world in research of future technology, we’re clinging to the past for one last hurrah
If it happens it should start in the areas that voted for Reform first so they can get to enjoy all that fracking has to offer.
People pretending they want economic growth whilst opposing everything that could deliver it
Get ready for your houses to be undermined and your water to be poisoned. Great message Reform, keep it up 👍
Farage has valuable contacts among US fracking companies.
He doesn’t care if your house subsides because of fracking in your area. As long as his generous mates make a profit.
How about we stop publishing every utterance from this man? He has 5 MPs. There are 4 more years to the GE. Just ignore him.
Why do the right have to be despicable scum at every fucking opportunity.
Nah, it’s more about opposing anything Farage/ Reform related.
Had this been Labour saying this, most of those criticising it now on here would be lapping it up and saying get on with it asap and it’s long overdue etc.
Taking U.K. back to 19th century is basically all Reform offer!
So instead of moving foward, we’re going with investing in what is known to be a polluting, dangerous, and economically non-viable method of extraction because certain elements of the fossil fuel lobby gave Faraage, Tice and Reform a bit of money.
Farage MPS should wear ‘ sponsored by oil and gas companies ‘ on their suits , like F1 drivers .
‘Get ready for dirty polluting expensive energy, that were only pushing because our donors want us to’
Not a single party fighting to develop nuclear energy is genuinely mad.
FWIW they use fracking technology in the North Sea to help with extraction.
Pollution in our groundwater, earthquakes, huge water usage and more reliable on planet-destroying fossil fuels. Yay.
Good job it’ll make more money for rich people so they can keep funding Reforms campaigns!
Fracking doesn’t really make sense in the UK. In the US, landowners own the oil and gas below their land. But in the UK it belongs to the Crown Estate.
Policies so far: Destroy the country, kick out brown people, chop down the NHS, strip 10 downing street before they lose the next election and cash in.
Anybody voting reform who is claiming they’re not racist is a liar.
Get ready for earth tremors and black tap water, Reform UK tells voters in expendable post industrial Northern English areas. “Yes, please, can I have some more, Mr Farage, sir?” respond voters, inexplicably.
Fracking is expensive. How much will this gas cost?
Omg no one wanted freaking it destroys the water tablets and destroys our land and we would have no benefit from it. Reform want to put the final nail in England so everyone has to leave as everything is poisoned or floating turds as it’s all been sold to Johnny foreigner so Nigel and his pals can make some more money.
But what if the energy companies don’t want to do fracking? We’re already generating a significant amount of electricity via renewables, and as more and more solar/wind/battery projects come online, there’s less and less need for fossil fuels. By the time the next GE rolls round we may be able to have entire days where renewable generation is optimal, meaning we need zero gas.
To put it another way: We have a substantial amount of coal under the UK, and access to the global market, but there’s no demand, or calls to re-open the coal power plants.
Let’s just hope it’s setup in a way to maximise ROI to the energy firms and shareholders, without giving the general public any reduction in energy bills.
Fingers crossed that it will be combined with massive reductions in the windfall tax too. I especially hope that Elon Musk is able to benefit from this too with his rumoured energy firm.
They want to destroy so much. Our countryside. Our health service. Our democratic institutions. They’re going to break as much as they can as quickly as they can and make as much money for themselves as possible before the people they tricked into voting for them cotton on.
Steam power for the mills, send the kids up chimneys. MBGA.

>Business Secretary Jacob Rees-Mogg has said he would welcome shale gas fracking in his back garden after a ban on the contentious process was lifted.
>He told a Tory conference event he would be “delighted” to allow fracking, particularly if he got “royalties”.
I say we allow fracking but specifically localised to a politician’s garden.
Fracking sounds like a depraved sexual act involving a rolled up copy of The Daily Mail.
When will we hear the end of that jizz stains bullshit ?
I can’t vote for Reform, but I equally can’t vote for any of the maintstream parties. Who represents the people any more?
We’re going to end up with a Reform government through the sheer apathy of the British. I hate it here.
Is there enough electricity to power, in addition, half of the 34 million cars on UK roads??
Stop talking about fracking its not going to happen
We don’t even have a publicly owned energy company so we’ll end up with a private company doing it, and selling it on the global market for market rate instead of at a discount to us. And it will not be at rnough volume to reduce global prices. We will destroy our land for nothing but enriching fracking companies and no doubt Farage has an investment in that.
The slight issue. Most Europe and that includes the UK is unsuitable for fracking, this isn’t America..
Then Reform need to be ready for the public to tell government to frack off again. For the umpteenth time.
Well obviously. Reform has to give a gift back to those fossil fuels companies that very nicely fund the party.
If anyone actually thinks it will lower UK energy prices they are living in dreamland. It’s just a gift to Farage’s backers.
The relevant bit is “The work carried out by the geologists in our research programme suggested that the complex geology of the shale basins in the UK would make it significantly more difficult and costly to extract,” Bradshaw says.
He says the estimated expense of producing British shale may mean it would not be able to compete with cheaper gas imported from Norway or elsewhere.”
Changing a policy does not change the geology.
Farage gets a lot of his funding from oil companies. This is payback.
“drill baby, drill”. More like “cringe deformed, cringe”.
Why are we in the UK happy to emulate America? We colonised the fuckers and somehow we are looking at them thinking we want to be like them? A third world country in disguise? Wtf
