    ****ing dry up people. We complain about the price of fuel and we all want it cheaper but we aren't willing to do what is necessary to make it happen. Fracking is a necessary evil because the demand for natural gas will very soon (if not already) outweighs the supply and we will see even higher prices.

    We should also be investing more in nuclear energy because, let's face it, gas will not last forever (unless they harvest my farts) and with an increasing global population things will get worse. Like it or not, nuclear energy is the future.

    There is no future. We're all economically and ecologically doomed. In the meantime, have a drink and a laff. <ok>

    How about drowning all environmentalists who think everything is all sunshine and moonbeams and have no understanding of how the world is? That would be fun <ok>

    Much fear I sense in him.

    Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to the cheese and vegetable pie.

    Nuke is not the way to go. It's too expensive and dangerous. Coal seam gas is the way to go for the time being. It was only a hand full of years ago that shale oil and the like were not profitable. but time cures these things. There will probably come a time in the not too distant future when green will be possible. I think there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and it will be powered by a natural energy. Hopefully.

    We should be tapping into the huge quantities of methane naturally available in this country and elsewhere - flatulence from cows before humanely putting them down for human consumption.

    That way everyone wins.. The cows will feel content that they have contributed to society on all levels. This will sit well with the ultra intelligent brainy beasts. Agree Joby?
