A TORY hardcore are trying to get fracking reconsidered on the back of rising energy prices and widespread calls to boycott Russian gas and oil following Putin’s Ukraine invasion.
Fracking — hydraulic fracturing — means breaking up bedrock to try to liberate oil or gas. It’s polluting, can cause earthquakes and does nothing to stop global warming— which in some weird macho way is why some on the right prefer fracking to wind power or better insulation as better energy solutions.
Pushing fracking is supposed, I think, to look tough and no-nonsense. So it’s worth remembering that the last time British politicians and journalists got enthusiastic for fracking they were the opposite of savvy and in-the-know.
