David Behrens: 'Jacob Rees-Mogg's attempts to shame communities into accepting fracking won't work'
– who despite looking as if he’s just stepped out of the picture on a box of Quality Street is somehow now the Business Secretary.Rees-Mogg’s plan to defeat those crypto-Communists who want to protect their landscape from being drilled within an inch of its life is to have fracking sites designated as nationally important pieces of infrastructure – a move which would remove local residents from the process of granting consent.
Rees-Mogg knew that his boss’s campaign promise to allow fracking where there is measurable local support for it, is incompatible with actual drilling. No community will ever vote in favour. So he’s now trying to shame them into thinking it is their patriotic duty to tolerate “a higher degree of risk and disturbance” while there’s an energy crisis.
This pair have now acknowledged that while there is indeed shale gas beneath Britain it is neither feasible nor economic to extract it. They learned this while trying to do so over the Pennines.
