Just days after fracking was restarted minor earthquakes have been detected near the site. It was stopped originally because earthquakes were detected then allowed to restart because the earthquakes had stopped. So there is clear evidence that when fracking occurs the area has minor tremors and when they don't frack the tremors don't occur. Yet despite this undoubtedly the support for this in parliament will continue while truly sustainable sources like solar, wind and tidal will have funding removed because they're 'not as efficient' and thus prevent them from doing research to improve.
We have a reliance on other nations for energy, be it oil or gas from places like Saudi Arabia and Russia which means we can't/won't call them out on some truly shocking behaviour and human rights abuses, and instead of investing in clean energy decide it's far better to get China to build a nuclear plant - where could that possibly go wrong.......
I do despair at times - there's so many things that could be done with simple policy changes which won't happen because those in charge prefer the large amounts of money coming to them from fossil fuels and the only way that'll change is if the renewable sector give them more
