So fracking may cause seismic tremors (minor ones no bigger than is normally felt in th eUK). Is this really their concern or is it more because we may be able to kick their beloved windmills into the bin where they belong?

This could be big business to the UK and save us, or at least help us pay the EU tax for Jakes beloved Europe.

I suppose they must have valves at both ends of the pipeline. It all depends on the contracts to buy the gas so surely we're not tied to just one supplier.

We don't get any gas from Russia as a matter of fact, or next to none.
Most of our imported gas comes from Norway.

The BP idea is a non-starter for lots of reasons.

I live very close to where the Fracking has been going on (we can hear the blasting etc.) and there is concern locally about the chemicals leaking into the water supply, there is also concern about earth tremors after we have already had at least one confirmed since it started.

I am seriously frightened by fracking. It is a step too far with messing with nature as far as I am concerned. I am also seriously annoyed by using the term Beardy Weirdies to describe anybody who has any moral concerns about what man is doing to this earth.
