Council orders fracking site shut despite energy crisis to avoid upsetting owls 'that left years ago'

Nottinghamshire County Council revoked permission for the Mission Springs site partly over fears about "breeding long-eared owls".

Wildlife experts said the owls had left the area in 2018 but the council has now told them to shut down because of a "sensitive local environment",While environmental groups have criticised fracking for being potentially unsafe to local communities and over concerns about damage to the natural environment, its proponents say it is safe if done properly and could provide an important alternative energy source during turbulent times.

And The Sun said it is thought a natural gas seam, running across northern England, could hold enough shale gas to heat millions of homes.

Good one.

Gammon baiting this time in the morning is remarkable. How about a nationwide search for our PM, Chancellor, and Health secretary as these are in free fall. This is a national crises not some owls and a test site for gas exploration 🙄

LBC, a new low. Reporting about a story written in The Sun. Shame

Energy bills to change every three months to avoid price shocksThe regulator says the change means price rises and falls will be passed on to customers more quickly. No this is NOT correct. Despite the price cap changing and things like “smart meters” and Apps and online accounts, the likes of edfenergy still only seem to have the ability to bill customers once every 6 months. Perhaps ofgem should look into this? ‘Adjusted’ doing some fucking heavy lifting there. Hindsight is great, but I wonder how many energy companies would have still been trading if the cap had been updated more regularly.
