Stop Moaning About Fracking You Eco-Snowflakes

Liz Truss spoke in favour of fracking during her campaign for the Tory leadership and as part of her energy plan as electricity bill's soar, she is widely expected to shortly announce the end of the fracking ban which was imposed in 2011.
Unbelievably, all those environmental types have kicked off complaining that the reason it was banned in the first place was due to it causing earthquakes in Blackpool and even that moron Boris Johnson went from hailing fracking as 'glorious news for humanity' and energy companies 'should leave no stone unturned, or unfracked' to announcing that all fracking must cease immediately after a British Geological Survey linked earthquakes, polluted water supplies and building subsidence to the process.
The New Government are expected to explain patiently yet again that Britain needs to find new sources of Energy due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine and Fracking is the way forward to keep the lights on as well as boosting tax revenues, creating jobs and drive down household bills so everyone's a winner.
Of course we all know that in America where fracking has been going on for over a decade, the Environmental Protection Agency has said the chemicals used are known carcinogens and toxins which has led to air pollution, chemicals leeching into the water table and polluting people's tap water causing respiratory, kidney and neurological damage and yes, it has led to seismic activity and subsidence in homes but consider the alternative of wind farms and solar panels, nobody wants them ugly things in their neighbourhood when they can have a whacking great fracking well.
It may be banned in New York, and several European nations such as France and Bulgaria have banned fracking altogether who have followed the general rule of thumb that any human activity that causes earthquakes and poisons the water supply is not to be encouraged but it is different here and its unlikely we will have anything like the River in Australia which contained so much methane which seeped into the water from the fracking wells that it literally exploded when a local MP put a match in it.
It is therefore vitally important that we pollute our water system with dangerous chemicals and cause earthquakes in Britain as it will make us less dependent on the gas of Russia so stop moaning you eco-snowflakes, it's all about thwarting Putin so don't put anything fragile on high shelves and if it does get  really chilly this winter, we can always set fire to our rivers or tap water to keep warm.
