hissingsid Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Today on MR David has said he thinks that the gas deposit under the Island should be investigated, interesting, of course he is in Treasury now and has his money hat on. I think he is right it would be foolish to to ignore the possibilities that this could prove fruitful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bollox, it would be foolish to use it and further destroy the planet. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy to say when you don't live here and aren't affect by our need for economic recovery or our lack of energy security. Move back here, then we can talk. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were to adapt all the IOMG climate change crap and Daffy and Mr Squeaker grandstanding, showboating and behaving like toy town students, then the answer would be a no no no - as Daffy says no. Daffy isn’t running the show though Perhaps the island needs to what’s best for the island and tell the climate change campaigners to either like it or lump it. The gas reserves won’t be there forever and could be used until more appropriate renewables come into play. The trouble is renewables will take years to set up. So the island has to endure fuel shortages to appease one grouping? No gas, no oil no power. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's just hope he doesn't spit the dummy and fire up the shredder if there happens to be a woman involved in the testing for feasibility who knows more than he does .

NoTailT Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 It's entirely appropriate the gas deposits are explored further. Gas is here to stay for a long time and we should focus on potential economic prosperity for our economy. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drilling for gas off the Isle of Man isn't a major problem in the global picture. Far bigger problems. In the short to medium term, this is important. Just vegan eco warriors can cling on to it easily. Edited November 21, 2021 by NoTailT 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they don't notice when fuel and energy prices double or even triple. They can afford to live in massively insulated homes, they can afford the electric vehicles with discounted bills from MUA. The climate change protesters are a bunch of high earning hippies too so fall into exactly the same boat. Then there's the rest of the GMP just cut adrift and trying to get by. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopek Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Would this gas be landed on the Island for us to claim direct benefit? Or would it go to the English distribution network to be sent back to us as a mixture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
