Gas Prices

[hugh]

To think our energy bills going to rise one hell of a lot, yet we could be getting our own gas if it wasn't for all the anti frackers. Yes we are all now going to suffer because of these people.

Thankfully the price hike not going to worry me to much. The bills I have been paying for home improvements as now finished so I am OK. Electric prices also going to rise quite a lot. For this last quarter I got £20 back from my solar panel this year I got £40 cash back.

I want to meet the guy who thinks us fixed-incomers can suddenly find an extra £1,000 a year from somewhere...  (Preferably down a dark alley.)

But we have our 3% State Pension increase. Reduced as blip in the stats meant we needed no more...

That would be our government then Zoony, Sunak the millionare, and the rest of our wonderful MP's of all parties who are going to get a nice pay rise this year.

Wot we need now is Grey Power!.. and quick.

just another example of the lack of sensible energy planning over the las 20 or more years, We could have created small nuclear stations, fracked for oil, and if others are continuing to use coal - why not us?

After Nigel Farage meeting in Blackpool fracking may just get the go ahead, with so many good payed jobs for the area being created. A vote at the meeting should Boris stay or go out come 50 50. None of them were against fracking.

Fracking frightens the hell out of me, buggering about in the earth beneath us in a small country like ours, left well alone.

[klondike]

There was a lot of green propaganda produced designed for that very purpose.

coal mines?

[Jacqueline]

coal mines?

OK I asked for that!  but we have been mineing coal for a very long time and know the problems. Do we really know what problems fracking causes? is it safe,? we have the word of fracking companies for that, do we trust them? I don't have a very trusting nature, especially when big money is concerned.  Be honest, would any of us want fracking going on very close to us?
