Switch to the news and chances are someone will mention fracking before long !
Extracting gas from shale is a controversial procedure in an ever-dying "Green" #Europe. Scientists - some previously unheard of - disagree over its safety. However cross the pond and watch as the USA surges forward in shale-gas extraction. A completely revised energy policy is emerging. They recognise the risks in #fracking; but they also take into account the risks of other energy production.
Politicians and entrepreneurs in the #USA have clearly decided that the risks posed by fracking are acceptable when compared to the risks already taken in alternative forms of energy production.
And this is where burgeoning political party #UKIP is to be congratulated. So far as I can tell it is the only UK political party to openly and bravely conclude that fracking would be good for the UK economy. Therein lies the strength of #UKIP.
Refreshingly UKIP appears to be a party unafraid to state its position in a down to earth way: clearly, openly, and honestly. This "man in the street" approach has got it into trouble from time to time. But far from losing members and support it goes on from strenght to strength!! Its main policy is to get the UK out of Europe. It does fear UK population growth fuelled by uncontrolled immigration and says so to the horror of the PC,
namby-pamy liberal and leftish influences in #Westminster and the #Media. It is accused of being racist and politically naive. Its members are described by some as fascist. These accusations appear to be in proportion to the level of suport #UKIP receives!! The greater its support, the more it's accused !!
I watch with interest as #UKIP continues to grow. It surfs a huge wave of support with the policy of getting out of Europe as soon as posible. Let's hope it can maintain the moral highground and that selfish vested interests will not resort to dirty tricks in their attempt to keep the #UK in the #EU. Watch this space!!
