@Geri He's not a moron - he knows full well that the geology in the US makes fracking feasible, whereas in the UK, the geology makes it extremely difficult to extract.

Difficult, particularly in that shale is mainly found in coal fields where mining has already been carried out. The risk of subsidence is high as a result.

Add on to that, there is a very low upper limit to which fracking is actually profitable, and the current price of oil would makes it unprofitable - even in the US.

@evacide It's starting to happen over here in the UK too - getting a lot of targeted marketing shite in my mail - contacted one this morning to get my data 'supressed' so it wont be used again.

Even my local authority has handed total management of council tax data to a data bank, which includes voting registration...currently selling said data to debt collection agencies, who then use it to dig even deeper into your data, adding data points as it goes.

Absolutely they should be destroyed!

@QasimRashid They're making a stick for their own back, lol! That'll work for 6/7 year old kids - they have implicit trust in their parents....but then they find there is no Santa Claus, lol!

Result: bubble pops, kids start thinking objectively....no more church for us, mom!

You can take a horse to water, but you can't make it drink! Ridiculous mentality!
