1 September 2016: report on an anti-fracking meeting in Lancashire.
Posted in Comment on 09/01/2016 06:43 am by Stephen TindaleOn Tuesday evening I went to an anti-fracking meeting in Preston, Lancashire. I support fracking, but I also support evidence-based campaigning (seehttp://climateanswers.info/2015/09/25-september-2015-we-need-evidence-based-campaigning/) and try to listen to different sides of the argument. And views in different parts of the country are often very different, so I need to get out of London to hear them. […]

Posted in Comment on 10/24/2016 05:09 pm by Stephen TindaleLast week the Sun published an article by me on shale gas https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/1997618/as-a-lifelong-green-im-convinced-frackings-the-only-solution-to-energy-problems/. The journalist I worked with on the text was excellent, and I had full editorial control. In the article I say that shale gas is part of the answer. The headline writer then wrote that I think it is “the only solution”. I don’t. […]

Posted in Comment, Policy on 09/25/2015 08:26 am by Stephen TindaleEvidence-based campaigning is very desirable, and in sadly short supply. Green groups should follow the evidence that the worst source of energy is coal. Campaign against coal, not against shale gas.

Posted in Comment on 08/09/2016 12:56 pm by Stephen TindaleConsultancy Remsol has today published a constructive Blueprint for shale gas community benefits. (http://www.remsol.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Remsol-A-Blueprint-for-Shale-Gas-Community-Benefits-09082016.pdf ). I wrote the foreword: “UK shale gas production could and should be part of a low-carbon transition, enabling Britain to phase out coal more quickly while strengthening energy security. Domestically-extracted shale gas would be less climate-damaging than coal, but also than […]

What about boring old natural gas? I can’t find any mention of it anywhere on your site and I wonder how much you or your readers know about the recent revolution in unconventional “shale” gas which has meant some geologists think that there is nine times more natural gas available on a planetary scale than thought as little as two or three years ago.

Posted in Comment on 09/16/2015 11:36 am by Stephen TindaleProgressive campaigners should support fracking for shale gas, which would enable the UK to reduce the burning of coal and the import of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). We could also then stop buying gas from regimes which abuse human rights.
