Shale gas is better energy option than nuclear
I AGREE with Cllr John Tanner that nuclear power is a worrying path to go down.
It may supposedly be “low carbon” but it is “high radiation”.
While carbon will not hurt you, since humans are carbon-based life forms, a speck of plutonium can kill.
It is time all this low carbon nonsense is seen for the business scam it truly is; netting vast profits for carbon trading schemes.
I also agree with Mr Tanner that is is an excellent idea to insulate all new homes in Oxford. There are in excess of 24,000 deaths a year in winter due to the cold. I have yet to hear of deaths in the UK from global warming, so politicians should focus on keeping people warm as cheaply as possible.
Renewables are not cheap unfortunately.
Germany has invested hugely in renewables since Fukushima and consumers now pay nearly twice as much as we do for energy and have a 50 per cent green subsidy tax as part of their bills.
Because of this meteoric rise in bills, the Germans are now having to open 16 new coal-fired power plants.
In the United Kingdom we are very fortunate to have lucrative deposits of coal and shale gas.
I believe we should now seriously consider shale gas since the Coalition Government has offered city and county councils a one per cent share of the profits which could greatly help with stretched budgets in vital services.
There is also a windfall offer of £100,000 to councils who accept shale drilling in their counties.
