Well I said I was for it and will say it again now we need new ways of geting fuel and at a lower cost so they can test bor any where they like and if they come across it and there is alot of it in one place then let them get it out of the ground anyway they can.

EXCELLENT!!
Well done that Man for coming forward
!You will speak for the process on Nov;11th.. yes?
The DDC really need someone who knows all the pro's and cons to speak to the Committee, and as you're so obviously in favour having weighed up all the evidence, you'd be the ideal Expert to address them, may I put your name forward?

Thanks Mr Matcham, you need to register your details and CV with Rebecca Brough at Democratic Services DDC on 01304 821199.. asap. If you want I can let her know of your willingness to address the Council, however , obviously they'll need personal info which I can't help with.. (Years in the Industry.... Published Papers et al ).

one thing is for certain, mr wiggins won't attend due to the subject of "fracking" being raised when the issue is about drilling.
mr newsam and mr matcham may help fill the available seating and i feel certain that mr hansell will be there to give a forthright view.

So, an expert is needed to speak in favour of fracking to a committee of the DDC?
Hmmm, no fracking is engaged for this type of Methane gas extraction, so straight away off target and down the slippery slope of misleading tripe.
As Howard correctly noted earlier, plenty of information on this thread and people prepared to debunk the fracking myths in relation to the proposed Coal Bed Methane Extraction best practice methods used elsewhere in this country, but most opinion expressed in this regard would indicate those people not being against CBME rather than a positive encouragement of it.
Nice of you to think of me Howard, but I'm a lay person who's done some research on Coal Bed Methane Extraction and they want an expert fracker.

can't compete with you neil, your wit is even drier than mine.
in a more serious vein i am aware of the difference between drilling in an exploratory way and fracking.
reg has a lifetime of experience in this field and my gut reaction is that he may be right with regard to the situation if the agreed drilling results in a situation where a mountain of money is waiting to be barrelled.

Not sure Reg would relish the description of poacher turned gamekeeper, Howard.

It strikes me that this meeting requires someone or a group of people who have direct knowledge of the technical aspects of coal bed methane extraction.
This was what was lacking at the meeting at Guston where the "expert" seemed to nothing of the sort.
Those who have read scare stories about coal bed methane extraction (and those who believed the lies in the Gaslands film) need not put themselves up for cross examination in my opinion. They would flounder under scrutiny when pertinent questions were asked unless they know their subject inside out.
The state of things as they stand leaves us all without a clue as to what is planned.
For example I'd ask why drilling is taking place in villages rather than unpopulated areas I'd ask what happens next if exploration is considered to be successful - ie. how is the gas delivered to it's end point for use.
I'd ask what are the chances of contamination of the local aquifers and what contingencies would be enacted should contamination take place.
That's just for starters. There are loads more question to pose so anyone putting themselves up as spokesperson for this project had better know their stuff.

thats exactly it philip
they want an expert

ALL POSTS ARE MY OWN PERSONAL VIEWS

Why O why are you all keeping on about fracking NOt one person from any company have said they are going to do it yet,all they are doing is a test bor same as they do for water,oil, infact anything which might be needed from the ground and even if they found oil or facking needed to be done,it will only be done in open land not in a parish high st,this is more political then anything beween the partys thinking they can get more votes by keeping this one going.The UK at this time needs to find more of its own fuel,at this time 90% comes outside the UK which we are paying a high cost, and it comes from the continent or goverments that even do not get on with us,what would happen if and it could happen,it has been before,they cut off selling to us,the UK would be on it knees within a few weeks,so we need to find our own and it has to be done by us for us and not like they done with North sea oi lsell it off the goverment of the day did it before, and look what happen up went our fuel bills etc, what a bad move that was the fuel was needed by us and still is and they sold it off.That must not happen again infact we should take it back if there is anyleft. But we are where we are,We need coal,and we need oil both which we have under the ground ,we know that we could have coal for the next 500years,but we do not know the same about oil.and this what they are doing at this time just boring or finding ways of geting it out of the ground and where it is.They have not said they are going to setup any oil plants or fracking in our part of the UK just looking.
And even if they found it and alot of it. that would be good for us all more jobs ex,and maybe the cost of fuel coming down,but that years away yet and it will not be done in mylife time. So let them do their test holes and see what they come up with.Why keep on about a expert there is no need for one and the so called experts would be saying the same as us some for and some against,they aready have experts as you call them looking into it.You could go round and find experts as I said for and against and your veiw on it would go with the one that agrees with the way you are thinking.Some of you are making a issue out of some think that is not there just to suit your own political ends.
