Non-Believer Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 A gent on the radio the other day was suggesting that if there is a gas deposit there it won't be anything like of the scale that's being bandied around. He drew comparisons with an existing, adjacent much smaller field and suggested that this "new" field would be more akin to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hissingsid Posted November 21, 2021 Author Share Posted November 21, 2021 There are lots of gents on the radio especially on Mannin Line, all experts at not a lot. David is proposing investigating this that is all and I think to miss this opportunity would be an opportunity missed. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using this gas doesnt mean there would be more gas used. Just gas from a different place. Surely it would replace imported gas. We wouldn't necessarily use more gas or contribute any more to global warming. Or am I missing something? 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win-Win. 😢 For Daffy and Mr Squeaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really think IOM government can extract gas cheaper than a large professionally managed field? Shouldn't be using gas anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the short to medium term, this is important. Just vegan eco warriors can cling on to it easily. Sadly any project now is going to be scrutinised by Daffy and Mr Squeaker for eco credentials. The Ramsey Marina scheme even if they thought it had real legs and could run a marathon, would still be a disaster waiting to happen - for many reasons, most without mentioning environmental issues.

hissingsid Posted November 21, 2021 Author Share Posted November 21, 2021 David also mentioned the Norway style plan using the proceeds to help further green dreams, whether you you take this as a viable suggestion or a sweetener to the eco warriors depends on your bent.

Kopek Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 (edited) What I meant by 'Manx Benefit', was would there be a Manx pumping etc. station with multi employees and employment opportunities for us? If the gas is landed on the Island, how would they get any surplus to England? Edited November 21, 2021 by Kopek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
