There you are
driving along with all the family and the presents when you realise you are low
on fuel. Then you remember that by taking the scenic route you have avoided all
the petrol stations. A nice day out has just gone badly wrong.
There is a problem with our hopes that fracking will fill up the
tanks, not only in vehicles but in the economy when the other supplies of oil
are reduced and increased in price.
Moreover, it
is a UK problem that is tectonic, meaning allegedly the wrong kind of rocks in
the wrong place for us to take advantage of what may be down there. It seems
that other places are not the same and we may have been taking our geology for
granted.
The upshot is
that a lot of drilling will have to be done to determine whether or not
fracking drilling can work. Our politicians may find it challenging when
explaining this to their constituents.
So how long
have we got?
