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 desperate need of energy....with energy prices so high they are literally driving companies out of business...with energy prices so high the government cut energy payments to retirees....the Gaia worshipers demand and get them to sabotage their own remaining natural gas (which is the cleanest of fossil fuels) wells.
This is self harm. There is no other appropriate description for it. Meanwhile the UK contributes about 1% of all carbon emissions worldwide. China and India add more carbon emissions each year than the UK emits in total.
Liberals need to see bodies before they will ever believe they are wrong.
The sun has indeed set on the British empire.
Alas, poor UK, we knew them well. (Heard something like that somewhere...) ;-)
The UK is a museum that people live in..................
The UK is a Deep State run hell hole.
That is what you do when you plug a well. I would love to find out if they were making commercial gas before being plugged. Then they really are dumbas*ses.
Hate to say it, but it started with Thatcher closing down the coal mines, because it was “dirty”.

Side note to the British elite: Please ignore this post. It’s for the working class. You will always have plenty of energy.
Indeed - they lost their best and brightest, and the socialists took over.
Not to mention a LOT of the smart ones left a few hundred years ago...
That people live in................
It gets mighty chilly up there in winter...particularly in Scotland.
“Liberals need to see bodies before they will ever believe they are wrong.”
The bodies have to be their own.
[RIP UK]
Boy,......ain’t that the truth.
Nearly every stupid idea....
Nice heater - as long as you have ventilation
They need to go to their archives, find that letter we sent to one of their German kings named George and reread it for themselves.
Then take appropriate action.............
When the UK quits hating their own natural resources, we’ll know that the Muslims will have fully taken over and no longer see the white Brits as a threat.
and why, pray tell, would you think THAT would convince them? true ideologues only believe what their own ideology demand them to believe and no amount of attempting to convince them otherwise is possible. “a man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still” the honorable Mr. Clemmons
If you can call that living.
