Thanks for catching that. I went back to fix it and in my defence, it was the autocorrect on my Fire tablet. When I wrote billion it corrected it again to million. My electronic devices like to troll me. As for the gas, I'm more interested in the alleged gas reserves in the south as he seems to think fracking wouldn't be involved. I'm not sure I like the idea of fracking off Maughold. I'm also not sure I believe him about any of it. I'd like to see some receipts.

No probs..I've no idea what Cowin is on about either, nothing has been proven to the south of the Island that I'm aware, whereby it has in the north east. I can't scream it loud enough though, extraction off Maughold would NOT be shale fracking!! The gas is trapped in sandstone deposits, and will flow under it's own pressure and not cause earth tremors. See here for differences No different to what's been done in Morecambe Bay since 1985.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the link/information. Why does everyone seem to mention fracking in the same sentence as off-Maughold? Manx rumour mill? Fake news? I would hope Cowin has some evidence to back up his claims about the southwest, otherwise he's going to look like a fantasist at best or a liar at worst. Either way he's screwed if he can't show show some proof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy to believe and repeat if it fits your agenda. Also easy to research if you can be bothered looking. I highly doubt IOMG would issue an exploration licence if fracking was the extraction method. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Private industry is funding investigation (as they should). Govt should have zero involvement other than granting licences and taxing it. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
