Why do you resort to this sort of bollocks whenever you get out of your depth? Reading the Mail must have fracked your mind. :lol:

What sort of company would sell gas or oil on the cheap to you or yours, when it has a higher value on the international markets? If they built a nuclear power station at the end of your garden, do you think you'd get cheap electric too?

Next time you should find out just who's investing in these fracking schemes and why the Tory Troughers really want to give them a huge tax break, before trotting out a bunch of jingoistic bullshit. #-o
But you are right about one thing. It won't be our problem. After all, we don't regularly have hose pipe bans due to water shortages and were not planning to contaminate millions of gallons a day by pumping it into the ground, in the unsure and uncertain hope of getting some sort of viable fuel source from it.

Also I hear that some people in Cornwall do have concerns about subsidence from mining. But you don't live there either, do you? :wink:

Nobody wants anything within 30 miles of their homes, HS2, wind farms, fracking, chicken farms, prisons, you name it, the NIMBY's will fight it

I keep hearing how the UK has 40 years coal reserves but apply to sink a pit near your town or village and watch the banners go up.....

If this had always been the case the UK would still be relying on handcarts and sailing ships

HMG want to tax it here, not sell it abroad, fuel duty raised them 26 BILLION.....in 2009

what happens when that stops? plus all vat from car sales, etc....etc....road tax....blah blah blah

im not daft enough to anticipate CHEAP road fuels, just the continuation of the IC engine to the last possible moment, when all the billions spent on engine plants will get lost too, and all the jobs...

Its beyond credulity that no car builder has yet produced a viable leccy car with range and looks unlike Noddy's or CoCo the clowns motor....

Just about anything would be preferable to this.
Unless you are in the fracking business, like many Tories and their family members, or a Tory party donor. :shock:

As they did when they wanted to build a large pig farm in Lincolnshire :roll: when will people realise that going big is the only way farmers can compete with the less tightly regulated european competition after all if everything is done right there will be little nuisance but CHEAPER food in the shops because it doesn't have to travel 3000 miles

many objectors have big cars (they dont object on "green" issues, just too close their homes), do they think pedals will work when the oil runs out, we also have wind farm objectors too.......cos wind turbines kill birds....

That's a crap argument and you know it.

Instead of handing big tax breaks to their families and friends, they could invest in something viable and worthwhile. Hell reopening the coal mines would give a better return with less damage to the environment.
What Gideon and co are doing is nothing short of corrupt. An abuse of power to line their own pockets and those of their families and super rich sponsors.
Why? Because they can and fools like you will let them.

All this would make a banana republic blush, but evidently not a Tory apologist like you. :roll:

I could post links and pictures of the objectors, without exception they are owners of big houses out in the country, mainly cos thats where wind farms and new farms get built, council estates are usually too crowded already

most are probably Tory supporters so your argument falls flat on its face there


These had to scour the globe for panic photos....

My family has been intending to relocate to that part of Yorkshire, and have been actively seeking a suitable property, with farmland. We would expect to add, modestly, to the economy of the area with our presence.

The threat of this development has put this plan firmly on hold, and it cannot even be considered further until this matter is resolved. If permission is granted, we most definitely will look to another part of the country.

3/ One of the biggest attractions of the area is the unmatchable landscape - and the relatively few wind turbines currently in the area. It attracts tourists as well as re-locators.


Quote:
I have had the privilege of flying into a farm strip close to the proposed site of these turbines. Their proposed proximity to the strip including the test mast recently installed are a definite hazard to aviation and my view is that approval of the turbine application could cause a potential accident and possibly death in the future. Not something any of us would want on our consciences.

One of our local farmers has had his application for a wind turbine turned down. A very strange decision when you take into account that he is also a councillor.
