It`s not coal Joey, it`s shale.

The gas is trapped between the layers of shale, forming pockets of gas.

Hence, due to the instability of the shale it`s such a dirty / dangerous process to get the gas out safely.

They`re two different things.

Sorry for being pedantic, but you really should know how to use google by now.

So they just happen to frack in old coal mining areas ..... I see slight earth tremors on a small scale happened a while back with fracking - we sit on Black gold since the pits closed the technology has moved on - ever seen the documentary of Britain's The last pit in Yorkshire - pitiful the miners ploughed all their redundancy money in to it using modern technology - railway right to Battersea power station it was making loads of money - shut down and Colombian Coal ferried in very ecological it's going to close now - perpetrators of that Cameron and Osborne...... but in from Columbia and shut a pit rich in Black Gold down - the coal was extracted by a big machine cutter which filled the coal direct onto the conveyor belt only 10 men per shift - very few managers - making money so shut it down Britain's last pit ,and import from Columbia.....
the yorkshire coal looked superb not for sale to the public in the contract the government broke........
watch the documentary -

Lol

Only about 30 access routes to St Thomas's, on the other side of the Thames to the protests.

And as I pointed out to Joe yesterday, Tommy's isn't a trauma hospital so they won't be getting the severest of cases going there. If you're south of the river you'll probably go to King's, or if north to St Mary's (in central London anyway).

It was making so much money it was cheaper to dig coal up in Colombia, ship it from the other side of the world?

No they reneged on the contract -watch the documentary before making inaccurate comments -
Down the pit we employed engineers - electricians - carpenters - they were told as long as the pit owned by ex miners was profitable they would take the coal - look who they were dealing with lying tories in Cameron and Gideon Osborne.....
Also tell me how much ecological wise it was to ship it from Columbia? when that pit fulfilled its contract , and was in profit........

It's a pity the one book Joe's read isn't A Road to Wigan Pier rather than A Dangerous Hero.

My apologies. I'll look out the documentary this week.

@Bruce Wayne 's comment reminded me of my grandad who disappeared from Durham to London for 3 years when he was 15 because he didn't want to go down the pit like his father, one of his uncles (the other was an illegal bookie with a sweetshop as cover) and three brothers. He always got annoyed when people romanticized mining as an authentic working class way of life because it was terrible, badly paid, dangerous job that wrecked your health.

I come from a generation of coal mining families, that documentary if you can find it on the net is a worthwhile watch it had me in tears at the end......
the fact was mining was dangerous they modernised it so well = ploughed all the vast amount of redundancy pay off into it as they believed it was a great seams of coal at that pit - they were let down as per and it looked safer and easier to extract the coal...... they called it Black Gold.......

The whole of my dad's side of the family (until him and my uncle were born in the 40s and 50s) were Durham coal miners. Hence my general cynicism about the mining industry/way of life.

Still doesn’t change the fact that shale isn’t the same thing as coal Joey.

Boris should have kept out of it and merely asked what the London Mayor proposed to do about it.....

*Johnson.

coal does not cause land shakes -Fracking will never work in the UK ......

You'd think people would be queuing up to take it out of the ground and make a killing then, wouldn't you?

sure if they could burn it clean they would be
