In stark contrast to Donald Trump’s agenda in the United States of exploiting cheap domestic natural gas to bolster the economy, Britain is preparing to literally pour concrete into its only remaining open fracking wells.
The North Sea Transition Authority regulator has ordered the permanent closure of two natural gas wells at Preston New Road in Lancashire, some eight years after shale gas was extracted from the site. The owner of the wells, Cuadrilla, said that it will start covering them in concrete starting next month, The Telegraph reports.
The closure of Britain’s final two open wells comes despite the country expanding imports of natural gas from the United States and elsewhere to meet its energy demands, with so-called green alternatives still lacking in their ability to power the country on their own.
In our city they went around and filled all wells with cement. My friend woke up on a Saturday morning to hear construction in his back yard. The cement truck was pouring cement into his well when he came outside. He was told no homeowner within the city could have a functioning well. It was illegal and has to be permanently sealed. He was upset but shrugged his shoulders, well it's the law. So he was OK with how this went down. IF he ever has or needs access to fresh water he no longer has that. To me this is criminal.
It’s amazing the amount of countries deadset on suicide. Especially the amount with leaders elected specifically to you know. Not lead the country into collective suicide.
Good! Now you can buy it from us instead! We'll gladly take your money.
Beat me to it😅

-Let's not use this resource, agreed?
Um, instead of just not using it, how about we pay some huge sums to prevent us from ever using it?
-Great idea! did you get that idea from that time we blew up a mothballed coal plant so it could never be used in an emergency?
Yes.
Ok freeze baby freeze
