Can we do nothing ourselves?
We are told that it was best to let a French firm build our next generation of nuclear power stations, because these are very dangerous and therefore need a firm with great expertise in its home market to do the job. We are now told that its best to let a French firm start 'fracking', because the public see this as very dangerous and therefore we need a firm who wants to build experience to work in its home market to do the job. Both firms, one actually nationalised are head-quartered in France, which is said to be an economic basket case! So Mr Cameron, these jobs we are busy creating are really top quality aren't they? -------------------- Know your place!

Couldn't agree more OTE. Bit like the railways, very few TOC's are British owned and very few trains / locomotives are British built. |

Cracking is quite simple really, no dangers at all. Just drill a hole, pump in so do water and 'a few chemicals' then out comes masses of gas. Great.
Just Google something like 'chemicals used in Fracking' and have a quick look..... Drink of water anyone? -------------------- Know your place!

I do not know much about fracking.
I do know I don't want a bunch of Frenchies being given run of our nations land. The government never give money out, in a time of HEAVY cut backs what must be going on behind closed doors for them to want to PAY councils money.. -------------------- :p
