There must be no North-South divide when it comes to fracking, says Michael Fallon, late of this locality.
He will know that we still have vast reserves of coal up here. And
that we want to resume exploiting them. Whereas they might have shale gas in the
South, but they don't want fracking.
I still suspect that this is all just wishful
thinking bordering on superstition, and that the gas is not there, or at least
not in anything like the quantities alleged.
Nuclear power, which was strongly supported by Gordon Brown and Ed Miliband when David Cameron called it "a last resort".
And coal.
Not necessarily in that order.
All else is ancillary to those two.
Including shale gas. If anyone really wants to go about extracting it. And if it is really there.
