Surely fracking is just an oil and gas industry answer to the question 'how do we keep making money as the domestic supply of gas drops?'
They have then sold it in to governments as 'this is a great way to secure your domestic gas supply'
Whereas the question the government should be asking is 'how do we reduce demand and phase out gas altogether?'
If they shifted the billions of pounds in subsidies that goes into oil and gas into insulating homes and buildings and installing ground source heat pumps in every house it would be a good start.
