Fracking in Sheffield?

Recommended Posts

These were work accidents that were associated with the industry. The Lawyers specialise in Workplace injuries. The point is if they are so careless about their employees welfare while onsite how much less are they going to care about people who will find it more difficult to prove that they are culpable when the toxins get into the water table.

This will be the same story we heard from Mining, Tobacco, Asbestos and other industries where toxins are present. Deny, Deny, Deny. Denial all the way.

The waste incineration in Sheffield heated all of Parkhill flats and Hyde park Flats. as well as some local government offices surely that is a bigger benefit than size reduction alone. I am not sure where the heat is directed now but I am sure you can find out if you want to put some time into that instead of trying to tear off strips of flesh from people on here.

What is the total cost per KWH for Nuclear. inclusive of building the plant cost of fuel, disposal of spent fuel including transport, decommissioning of plant and security throughout the whole shebang. The price you pay at the meter is not the whole cost it is heavily subsidised by government, That means you and me through taxes. I this can be done for nuclear it can b e done for other energy production means too. But it would seem they would rather have the Chinese in charge of our energy production, or the French, or the Spanish, anyone but British companies. That way the profit goes out of the country when there is some and you can bet there is less tax paid on it too. I wonder how many Conservative MPs have their sticky little fingers in these hot pies.

I expect this is different. Somehow?

 

Nuclear power costs about 10p per kWH all in.

I shall ignore the nationalist ranting.

I asked how many people were killed by fracking in response to your comment that implied that the elderly would be killed by poisonous toxins and therefore would not benefit from reduced heating bills.

 

I'm not sure how pointing out that there are a high number of workplace accidents in the oil and gas extraction industry in the U.S relates to that?

Clearly it doesn't. That's why we're being invited to make unjustified conclusion that because there are workplace accidents in Fracking they're going to kill all the locals through negligence.

You need to get your facts right. You know the government possess a golden share in Hinkley Point C right?

No it's not a very great benefit. How much gas was used to fire the incinerator? For the volume of waste put in heating a small number of buildings is trivial really.

 

As for tearing strips off people please. Thats just playing the victim because I happen to have said something you didn't like.

I shall ignore your claim that I was ranting in the same way that you ignored what you thought was ranting.

 

I don't believe that I mentioned Windfarms. Trying to stay on topic seems to be not one of the strengths of participants on this thread. The topic is Fracking.

 

I am not trying to ignore the dangers in other industries. There are dangers in all industries even cheesemaking and production of essential oils. But they don't have potentially catastrophic effects on whole villages towns or cities.

Since by the seventh word

Don’t believe the spurious claims of nuclear shills
it has given up being impartial and unbiased I've given up reading it as a credible source of anything.

I don't know your individual views about fracking, but there are any number of rumours flying around, so I thought I'd let you know where I think we are with this situation.

 

Although Sheffield City Council has a policy of not allowing fracking licences, this only applies to council land. All other applications must be considered in the planning round.

 

There are already applications pending in South Sheffield. Landowners around Bradfield Oughtibridge and Stannington have been approached to allow test drilling in their land. That's a fact that Ineos are happy to admit. This area is covered by licences and any company is entitled to apply for test wells. That's why there are Stocksbridge and Penistone as well as Stannington groups against fracking on Facebook. In Mosborough, there was a meeting last Thursday chaired by Clive Betts with the Cabinet member for planning, acting head of planning, Ineos, EA and the HSE.

That's interesting, thank-you. Do you know the planning application reference numbers or whatnot? It would be interesting to see what a fracking application looks like.
