What can’t this woman do? Oh, right! Be a decent human being…
Asking people who live near potential fracking sites.
I think it was during the leadership vote, but I’m sure I heard Truss state that it would only be carried out where the local community consented. Judging by the local opposition shown during the last time fracking sites were given permission to operate. Is it realistic to think it will be any different this time around? Even with a 25% discount on energy bills.
Government to lift ban on lies despite effect on truth
……we can drill for shale and poison the land and water table, but heaven forbid we spoil some coffin dodgers view of a hill they cant see from their house let alone climb because of a wind turbine.
Fuck this lot and the cuntos who vote for them.
Remeber when people say that we vote for a party and not a person?
Johnson wasn’t interested in restarting franking.
am I missing something or do most fracking articles not discuss the risks of methane release associated with fracking, an incredibly potent greenhouse gas… has it been addressed with modern approaches or is it still an issue?
the earthquakes do bother me but it’s the larger environmental impact I’m concerned about… whilst I think methane is shorter lived than co2 it’s influence is far, far stronger so if enough is released via fracking across the world it could push us past climate change tipping points :/
all in all I don’t think it’s a wise endeavour
Need to do something to make people’s bills more affordable.
I would rather have a full sized windmill in my bedroom than a fracking well within 1000 miles of me.
I don’t understand why they need to frack, with all the coal mine that have been closed from Scotland to Kent, they could drill into old mine site’s and pump out the methane, like they are doing at Maltby in Rotherham and Hatfield in Doncaster, just saying 🙄
£50 says she will send troops to Ukraine, or a aircraft carrier and trigger a bigger war……she is going to be a serious problem to the Uk’s survival
I bet it won’t lower the electricity prices.
I bet the companies will just export it for more profit.
I bet Liz is in Shell’s pocket, same way she’s officially serving the World Economic Forum (proudly figures on their members website).
Does this look like a conflict of interests?
It’s also dangerous and contaminates water supplies. Truss needs to be charge with environmental terorrism.
That’s nice for you Truss. But no, we’re not going to allow fracking in the UK. Sorry.
What’s the point? It’s not sustainable, so isn’t securing our energy for the future. It takes years to set up, so won’t help with our current problems. It terrible for the environment, so will hasten us to the climate apocalypse. Its more expensive than green options.
It makes no sense, and it will probably be stopped before completion anyway when the tories lose power in a couple of years.
Just in this lot and already signalling fracking and no cap for bankers bonuses. Is this peak Tory?
In one hand they want to do fracking which can greate various geologic abnormalities, on the other they want to bring chip manufacturing to the uk which simply cannot happen if we have any geologic activity. You can’t have both thick lizzie.
This is just a demonstration that capitalism isn’t about providing what is cheapest or most desirable. It’s about what creates the most revenue for greedy people.
We’re literally in an economic crisis created by our dependence on fossil fuels. While we’re also at a point in time where renewables are the cheapest form of energy to produce – UK Electricity cost per unit is 3.9p offshore wind, 4.1p onshore wind, 5p solar, 11p nuclear, and fuck knows what gas is up to last I heard it was around 70p per unit.
And they choose the thing that is so volatile that we ended up in this position because of it. It’s the most expensive even before the volatility. And the most damaging to the environment.
For something as fundamental as energy, where every other economic factor is dependent on it, as demonstrated by the current energy criss. Then you have to wonder why these numbskulls want our energy to come from the most expensive and volatile source.
Fuck the Tories. Even Labour would be better at this point. Well done you absolute cunts. You’ve made me consider Keir Starmer an actual viable leader.
“If you want to play with fire, don’t cry when you get burned.”
To be clear, the energy released in an earthquake of magnitude 0.5 is 374 kilojoules. That’s as much as you get from burning half a Mars bar
So she’s really what she appears to be at this point, and won’t be surprising anyone with a sudden sense of fairness or togetherness. When is the UKs next GE?
This is just another shot fired in the culture wars. She is being being right wing for the sake of it, regardless of the support it gets from the electorate
Everything the Tories do makes Britain worse.
The inexorable decline of our national life is almost incredible.
Trump has taken his final form…and it isn’t Johnson!
First the Tories move to get rid of the metric system, now they’re importing earthquakes. As someone who lived in a geologically active part of the US for a while, thank you so much for making this feel like home.
Now fucking stop, no one needs that shit here.
The Conservative manifesto in 2019 made it quite clear that they would not support fracking unless the science shows that it could be “categorically” proven safe (see 2019 Conservative manifesto table of pledges).
This is a clear deviation from the 2019 manifesto and should therefore be put back to the electorate. They have a mandate to work to the manifesto on which they were elected and this is in direct contravention of that; to the best of my knowledge the science has little changed.
Weird. Almost like the Tories elected a former Shell executive with one foot still in her old job…
This shows ownership of politicians, it isn’t sustainable, extremely expensive, environmental suicide, can’t be done anywhere close to cities.
The very same NIMBYs against wind turbines are now going to accept Shale Wells?
It does nothing for the population at all, same companies getting more resource selling it at the same price as all energy.
The enitre country is just set up to feed these miserable aging twats who do nothing.
Johnson’s hero was the mayor in Jaws.
Looks like Truss want to up that by modelling herself on the mayor from a disaster movie where someone drills too deep and causes a devastating earthquake. (Lets just hope it’s not a Syfy Original disaster movie, or it will probably release a load of dinosaurs, or magma-spiders or something too).
Isn’t community support also required with this? What community is going to agree to this in their backyard? Most of the people advocating for fracking don’t seem to want it near their house. Maybe the first bore hole should be made at number 10 as an example to us all.
Surely this is incredibly irresponsible? Why would anyone allow this
Fracking is WaaaaayYY more hideous than a wind turbine.
