Fracking

Recommended Posts

I'm surprised that this hasn't been mentioned before, (unless it has and I've missed it).

I hear the locals aren't happy, and I don't blame them. It's OK in the "desolate" north but this is the prosperous south!

 

 

But then I read this report, so it might be ok after all.

Angling is more than just catching fish, if it wasn't it would just be called 'catching'......... John

If those in the desolate north vote for independence they'll be needing every fracking bit of oil and gas they can get their hands on ;)

The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.

I have fished the Wealden streams all my angling life, and there has always been evidence of hydrocarbons. Methane bubbles to the surface in one or two pools in my trout streams, and has done for the last sixty years, always in the same spots.

 

The area was drilled for natural gas about fifty years ago (by the D'Arcy Exploration Company) but after all the Nimby hoo-ha died down it was decided there was insufficient yield to make it worthwhile.

 

The Wealden oil/gas reservoirs, just like the Wealden aquifers, are numerous but very thin. Conventional extraction is not economically feasible, hence the interest in fracking - and the current hysteria from the Nimbys.

I know John.

 

I know what I would do with Lord Howell of Guildford and his ilk. I hear that Rockall is particularly bracing this time of year.

 

But some £32.8 million a day comes out of the North Sea, if my fellow Scots do vote for independence the rest of the UK is going to have to pay for that or make up for it one way or the other. I wish them the best of fracking luck ;)

I couldn't have cared less if the want to get the fuel out of the ground by nodding donkey of piped under pressure, as long as it ain't running down the street, good luck to them. looks like it's gonna be tough to get a return in the garden of England. :lol:

Free to choose apart from the ones where the trust poked their nose in. Common eel. tope. Bass and sea bream. All restricted.


New for 2016 TAT are the main instigators for the demise of the u k bass charter boat industry, where they went screaming off to parliament and for the first time assisting so called angling gurus set up bass take bans with the e u using rubbish exaggerated info collected by ices from anglers, they must be very proud.

Upgrade, the door has been closed with regards to anglers being linked to the e u superstate and the failed c f p. So TAT will no longer need to pay monies to the EAA anymore as that org is no longer relevant to the u k . Goodbye to the europeon anglers alliance and pathetic restrictions from the e u.

Angling is better than politics, ban politics from angling.

Consumer of bass. where is the evidence that the u k bass stock need angling trust protection. Why won't you work with your peers instead of castigating them. They have the answer.

Recipie's for mullet stew more than welcomed.

Angling sanitation trust and kent and sussex sea anglers org delete's and blocks rsa's alternative opinion on their face book site. Although they claim to rep all.

new for 2014. where is the evidence that the south coast bream stock need the angling trust? Your campaign has no evidence. Why won't you work with your peers, the inshore under tens? As opposed to alienating them? Angling trust failed big time re bait digging, even fish legal attempted to intervene and failed, all for what, nothing.

Looks like the sea angling reps have been coerced by the ifca's to compose sea angling strategy's that the ifca's at some stage will look at drafting into legislation to manage the rsa, because they like wasting tax payers money. That's without asking the rsa btw. You know who you are..

I don't think you'll have it running down the streets Barry.

You could have your streets falling down a big fracking hole though! :o

There is a swim on the Medway in Penshurst where the "barbel" is always bubbling :) I spent quite a while trying to induce a take from it :) :) Finally gave up and got up close enough to see the stream of bubbles oozing from under the edge of a rock shelf :bye2::bye2:

Lots of "evidence" from both sides of the coin in america ,i saw one video where gas was coming out of a tap where the ground water appears to have been polluted with gas .

Trouble is in america the mega corps can easily shut up anyone putting doubt into what is a multi billion $ operation.

Unfortunately the same companies will be playing here and very fat brown envelopes passing hands making sure they do.

Everything has plus and minus points but is groundwater pollution worth the supply of gas or oil?

One of the reasons is " cheap" oil or gas but mark my words it will only be cheap to the companies not the user they are still bound by a use for it and demand = big prices

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

Grangers law : anything i say will  turn out the opposite or not happen at all!
