Spoiler alert, it's an hour long but once gotten into I couldn't turn it off.
Glad we don't live in or anywhere near the USA.

If Rhys Mog had gotten his way we would have had our own abysmal fracking issues! For such an educated person I do wonder about how his mind performs?

As far as I am concerned there is no viable excuse to pursue fracked gas in this day and age with some many alternative energy sources available.

I couldn't believe that the UK was still contemplating fracking after many European countries had banned/blocked it, and the Polish attempt had failed to achieve financial viability despite being touted as the best resources in Europe.

Of course since then we've found that the fugutive emissions from gas (and especially oil) fracking in the US, mean that the net CO2(e) emissions from burning gas for leccy is roughly as bad as burning coal. Apparently only needs about 2% fugitive emissions of FF methane to negate any benefits.

I think we are lucky to have dodged that bullet despite the Gov's best attempts to force it through. I also suspect that initiatives to move away from FF gas for generation and space heating would have gotten more pushback if there had been a large and powerful frack gas industry/lobby.

Silver spoon educated. His mind only works to further line his own pockets.
