British Moonbats Raise Emissions With War on Fracking
Teslas are not the only way environmental posturing raises CO2 emissions. British moonbats’ successful war on fracking does it too. Envirojacobins have managed to drive the fracking czar (aka Commissioner for Shale Gas) out of her job:
Natascha Engel’s decision to walk away from such a high-profile role is driven, she says, by her dismay that Ministers are jeopardising Britain’s energy security because they would rather appease noisy green campaigners than listen to scientists’ advice.
The result, she says in an exclusive interview, is that government policy is strangling the UK shale gas industry at birth – despite overwhelming scientific evidence that fracking, if properly regulated, is totally safe.
Killing off this industry, says Ms Engel, a former Labour MP, will cause higher, not lower, greenhouse-gas emissions, as we are forced to rely on increased imports of gas.
Ecomilitants oppose all fossil fuels, no matter how safe, clean, and necessary.
But then, what does Britain need fossil fuels for anyway? True, wind and solar will never be able to meet more than a tiny fraction of energy needs on a reliable basis, but there is always biomass…
…i.e., low-quality trees from the southern U.S. that are shipped to Britain at considerable expense.
Burning trees is okay because trees are renewable – or maybe because it is a crude and inefficient means of generating energy, unlike natural gas obtained by fracking.
The Government’s fracking tsar has said she quit her ‘impossible’ role due to a ‘refusal to look at the science’ and decision to instead listen to campaigners.
Natascha Engel adds that fracking in the UK could actually help to reduce our carbon footprinthttps://t.co/EtMHMg30bp pic.twitter.com/cEEU6O55oS— ITV News (@itvnews) April 28, 2019
