        @BBCNews Gas will belong to Europe prob sold to Russia. Fracking may be done by co other than licence granted to. Complete disaster.

        @BBCNews We have energy in the air (wind) and sky (sun). Why poison our earth and water for gas that will only increase carbon emissions?

        @jolandemm @BBCNews A mixture of coal, gas, nuclear and tidal (severn estuary). When solar doesn't need subsidy then that too.

        @jolandemm Just a few per cent of North Sea coal would be enough to power the UK for centuries.http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/newly-discovered-north-sea-coal-could-power-britain-centuries-1442551 …

        @RupTroop Except that it would poison our planet's ground and the emissions would poison the air, so we wouldn't have centuries.
