Nearly all the fracking companies in the US went bust.

Extraction is too expensive.

Extraction is too expensive.
fracking is extremely unlikely to help... best estimates suggest the UK has enough shale gase to meet less than ten years of energy consumption... and such gas as there is is very deep and expensive to extract... even producing it at all will take years and the benefits will be short lived...

fracking companies insist that 50 year deposits are available but in the immortal words of Mandy Rice-Davies… they would say that wouldn't they!
If the govt had listened to Insulate Britain then UK energy demand would be significantly lower in the winter than it is now... they were absolutely right. Renewable energy sources are also much cheaper and usually faster to produce too... nuclear power is probably our best bet long-term but it is slow and costly.

From Sky News.
Scotland will not grant fracking licences despite Truss lifting ban
Nicola Sturgeon says Scotland will not grant any fracking licences, despite Liz Truss lifting the moratorium.
As the issue is a devolved matter, the administrations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland retain control over whether to allow shale gas extraction.
She quoted new Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng, who previously said “no amount of shale gas would be enough to lower the European price”
Claws out already?!

I live not too far away from one of the test sites. A lot of our water comes from aquifers so it's not so much what's going into the ground as what comes out of it. Contamination of drinking water in Australia raised a few questions. The local site here is not far from the nuclear plant at Salwick. What could possibly go wrong?
