#61 It would be more useful for those interested in what is happening if someone with your experience and expertise in the industry would say more.

let's hope they don't fritter the 700 quid away on non essentials.
surprised that they have been going for 16 years and still have only 3 staff.
it seems clear that their balance sheet does not give grounds for confidence so i don't see any haulier/supplier giving them credit to carry out tasks especially as there is no guaranteed pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

It is vital that we explore sources for energy in the UK and not to do so is leaving us wide open to massive problems both economic and in our energy infrastructure. Not to do so leaves us in the precarious position that countries such as Germany are now experiencing with fuel poverty and the exodus of intensive users to other, cheaper countries in which to manufacture their products.
So the principle of using methane gas is more than likely a sound one. The companies involved in the exploration and the extraction of the final product might be large or might be small. They all have to start somewhere.
What is very important, however, is that local communities must be informed of all the pros, cons and otherwise of their methods.
The same goes for any planning decision be it the building of a supermarket or any other concern.

Well said PhilipP....
It was the answers that " Oliver" couldn't or wouldn't give that was very worrying.
Have a read of this page... " Meet the Frackers"..

has anyone a report on what happened last night at shepherdswell, i believe our honorable member was due to attend?

I tried to attend the meeting in Shepherdswell last night but couldn't find a single parking space anywhere in or near the village, the whole place was rammed packed! So I'd definitely be interested to hear how it went.
Also Shepherdswell village had plenty of anti fracking posters up, haven't seen a single anti fracking poster in Guston yet

you may have not got in anyway john, by all accounts there were people stuck outside in the rain.
the only reports i have seen have said that our m.p. has now changed his mind and is against the exploration.

John you probably won't find fracking posters because they know it is not fracking that is proposed.
My contacts recognise that if they try to describe it as fracking their protests will be binned.
They are concentrating on dealing with effects of the exploratory drilling process.
This what the application is about.
To try to divert the matter to what is not being consulted on is playing into the hands of the applicants.

j# 68.John.Excellent informative presentation and the Shepherdswell audience had fully researched.the
whole subject.Charlie started by saying why the government supported the process,the rumble in the room,
change his tack,he became a born again Shepherdswellian and received the applause he wanted.
# 70 The people of Shepherdswell have not fallen for that old chestnut,the price to pay is just one mistake
( and there are many ) means our water supply is ruined for good...for ever.
Only one person in a packed hall,side rooms,foyer,outside in the rain suggested we should hear the other sides
Coastal lGas and Oil did not attend.
The application is cleverly written,they always are,and always change after drilling results and having been in the
industry for many years,the exploration team drill produce report,the market place decide what to extract
and they always go for the big return and the government has given huge tax breaks to `fracking companies.
I did ask about the tax break on two occasions but Charlie side stepped.

I didn't attend the meeting but am intrigued by the idea that the meeting was able to shed any light on the issue. It seems to me that both sides of the argument should have been put forward by those in the field who could plainly explain exactly what is involved in the process and how it would impact the village unlike the Guston meeting which was disappointing to say the least.
As far as our local MP changing his mind I'd be interested to know what the evidence was which caused his change of view. Nothing to do with political expediency I trust?
As far as the days of pulling the wool over people's eyes are fewer - nothing could be further from the truth.

i don't think he has changed his mind philip, his joint article on conservative home today says the opposite to what was said in shepherdswell last evening.

Philip as the application is only for exploration for coal gas/methane, the only response that will be listened to is for that purpose. All other aspects relating to fracking will be ignored because that is not the process being used or discussed.
The question is whether the drilling process for strata extraction causes any harm.
That is what the Guston group is considering with great professionalism to date. How the the applicants submission is analysed and evidence gathered to identify deficiencies in the submission will make the KCC planning committee respond.
It is no good trying to pre-empt a result still to be identified. That will be ignored. The trick is to prove the drilling process is flawed and causes environmental and community damage that can't be mitigated.
Hope you except that is not a political comment but one that will try to utilise the planning process effectively.

I said it before you all are fussing about nothing and I agree with Mr Watkins,and at my next council meeting I will also be puting my views over to them.

Paul, I'm well aware that the process has nothing whatsoever to do with fracking which I'm all in favour of providing any company carrying out the work can do so safely and the area chosen has little or no impact on day to day life - which is the case in the USA where there have been no real problems despite claims by those vehemently opposed consisting largely of climate change believers who try to put the fear of God into those who know nothing about how it's done and it's effects.
What is needed is a sensible and honest debate by all sides detailing the impact on the area, why those sites were chosen as opposed to drilling away from the villages and what happens if the exploration is successful in terms of the distribution of the final product ie. methane gas.
These questions were put forward at the meeting in Guston but were not answered which is probably why the vote at the end was against the idea. Had ample time been given for residents to prepare and research the issue and had the company sent someone who knew all these vital details we might have seen a different outcome - maybe not who knows?
Using youtube brought me this link which is cringworthy in every aspect of it's production values but does give an idea of what's involved. One aspect which has the potential to cause real problems is shown just after the two minute mark on the video in terms of the processing and delivery of the gas.

They are NOT fracking just drilling a bor hole talk about making a mole hill into a mountain .There is no more information they have told you all what they are doing end of.

Sort of on topic, but a bit off, if you see what I mean:
The drilling company has 3 staff and little in the way of assets, the 'developers' for the DTIZ, including the new cinema complex have only two staff, and not a huge amount of assets.
Websites seem to be a bit difficult to find too, not, you understand, that I am in any way making any sort of accusations about either of these probably very reputable businesses, just noting a coincidence, sort of.

much the same with china gateway, in a lot of cases companies just want planning permission so that they can sell it on to someone with deeper pockets.

I see, so all is not necessarily as it seems. These big business dealings are well outside my experience, and truthfully don't really hold much interest for me, but the combination of the drilling and the cinema posts got my few remaining brain cells working together for a short while. Have no fear, I will be anaesthetising them shortly with large amounts of Tanqueray and small amounts of tonic and will be reverting to my nonsense posts.
Have I spelt that correctly, or should I have just said 'numbing' instead ?
