Why Is Tim Yeo Backing Fracking?
If Tim Yeo is doing the rounds in television studios professing his support for an idea, it’s usually not unfair to assume there must be a vested interest in there somewhere. This morning the conflicted chairman of the Energy and Climate Change select committee decided he was backing fracking, so Guido crowd-sourced his possible financial interests. The results were hardly shocking.
ITI Energy supplies equipment for a variety of methods of producing energy from gases. Add that to his other interests in energy investment, energy efficient vehicles and fuel cell technology, and you get the picture. Whiffy once again…
First
and I do not use performance enhancing F5 keys either !
Yeo is a fucking corrupt arsewipe and just one of the many, many reasons I will not be voting for CMD’s not-the-fucking_conservative-Party.
56th
+1000 ugly git too.
At least someone in Government backs fracking – pity he doesn’t do it for ethical, practical, honest or sensible reasons, but has to be bought!!
Tim Yeo mutha fracka.
So how do I reject and return my Nobel prize?
Yeo … the boundless bounder!
When is the parliamentary commission going to look into this stinker?
The self enricher has all the bases covered it seems. If someone digs a little deeper, I wonder if shares in coal and oil companies will surface?
Just in case, you understand.
Yeo is filth. A fucking vile contemptible bag of rancid hyena sperm in vaguely human form.
Please don’t hold back in stating your views; there is no need to be mealy mouthed in your comments – just say what you think. It is still a free fucking country – at least until the EU completes its stranglehold.
Cheer up. Murky has an election coming up shortly and the Krauts are not exceptionally pleased at her giving all their cash away to other countries (put deeply in debt mainly by her policies). She may be chucked in the Danube with a bit of luck.
Strikes me as the sort of fellow who would benefit from having a red hot poker inserted very vigorously into his flabby anus.
Isn’t it a conflict of conflict of intersts? Wind Vs Fracking.
Depends which way the wind is blowing!
Luckily, when there is very cold weather and we really need the extra energy to keep warm, the wind is not usually so strong that it breaks the wind turbines. Unfortunately, there usually isn’t enough wind to actually turn the propellors.
I don’t know why. Maybe there is too much man-made greenhouse gas in the atmosphere to let a decent green wind-farm type wind to blow. If we taxed greenhouses, maybe that would help.
Towing the UK to a tradewind area is the only answer.
The basis for the UK heritage is that we built a sail based navy. Not that it means we had too much wind, but that we had variable wind directions and moderate velocities. With old ships only going down wind it meant that they could return when the wind turned around.
In countries of constant winds, the idea of a navy was removed by natural selection. The boats did not return.
They’re all filth, Tory, Labour, Lib Dem – troughing, venal filth!
Their is one word missing from under Miscellaneous
After the last full stop insert – Yet
Their is a spelling mistake
A sort of GAZPROMo
But fracking is brilliant. Just look how it is turning round the US economy. It is the perfect solution. No dependency on Russia and the Arabs, lots of government revenue, balance of payments boost, cost of living down and a great help for industry. What is there not to like?
Yeah, the only thing that taints it is Yeo’s involvement -apart from that, let’s get fracking!
Gasification equipment is of no use in fracking – it is used to turn waste products into gas. Fracking is directly against ITI’s interests, since it may render their equipment economically unviable.
Trust me,we have a problem for every solution.
Is there a danger of earth tremors with fracking?
Hasn’t moved for me yet *sad face*
I’d rather snore than shag her.
Dear Hobbit
I don’t think that there’s a choice and it’s your turn early in January.
Mr Pimp
There were many thousand of small earth tremors from coal mining in Britain. We still built an Empire on the back of it.
But if you frack all the gas deposits will the coal be available later? Or will the ground be so unstable that it can not be mined.
And the results of the empire we built? Londistan!
Tremors?
All the time lad, all the time.
Yes and depending on the depth /water table there is the possibility of the cracks extending up so that the gas comes up bore holes. see gasland film.
we need better energy conservation using materials such as aerogel
We want windfarms. We want even more expensive energy. We want even more of your tax money. We want to read your emails. We want gold-plated pensions.
Texas 5p-8p killowatt hour..UK 16p..
Zero income tax in Texas too.

Not to speak of the House of Ermine Vermin full of Gorbals Micks and worse…
That’s a fracking good question. Fracking back handers perhaps?
Right wing political blogger,Guido Fawkes, self-combusts over equal marriage and calls for the re-introduction of Section 28!
Core Labour voters in the Muslim and black community love the idea of gay marriage then do they?
Not even very many gays actually want gay marriage to the point they want it to top the poltical agenda ahead of every other problem the country has.
Personally, I have no problem with gays in a local congregation being married in the church they worship in, in front of the accepting congregation they worship among. I really object to people who are not part of a parish but who want to use Christian churches simply as a backdrop to a parody of a Christian ceremony, which is what a lot of this may well turn out to be. (Heterosexual couples do this a lot as well).
I doubt if most Muslims would feel differently. Incidentally, there is more acceptance of homosexuality in some parts of the Muslim community than people may realise. The imams from overseas, of whom there are a great many, are another matter.
Family lawyers are looking forward to this development with relish.
Non-legally bound same sex couples are considered lost income.
What about the tricky matter of consummation ?
Indeed won’t a prenuptial always be at the pre stage?
Odd comment. Those who wish to marry are probably already or will otherwise become civil partners.
So we can expect to see marriage ceremonies happening in Mosques very soon then?
Will we fuck this is just an exercise in breaking the CoE on the wheel of political correctness.
The point though was that any objection to gay marriage is not just amongst the right of the political spectrum but core Labour voters as well.
That would also include Catholics and hairy bummed working class chavs as well as Blacks and Muslims.
How do the Left wing propose to square that round hairy bumhole?
Not so it would seem…
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-20680924
Gay marriage in CofE to be made illegal. Wow.
one suspects that gay marriage is here to stay and given the churches etc have the ability not to perform ceremonies then whats the problem…deal with it …the fact is just like women bishops the C of E needs to wake up and join the real world if they want to thrive amongst us.
there are many things we wouldn’t have countenanced years ago but the world has changed so vastly it is imposible to ignore calls for a pragmatic consensual outcome
Oh no it’s not…

What’s der problem wid keeping me horse in a flat?
I know somebody who kept a horse in their flat, ran the gas cooker from gas via a tube up it’s arse for years, fracking amazing!
Sorry, at first I thought it was Tim Yeo backing fucking – given his record as the father of a love child.
Actually, this may not be a smoking gun. The description ‘unconventional gas’ covers things like methane recovery from cow dung, old landfill sites and the like – what some describe as ‘sustainable’ technologies. Shale gas and fracking is more like conventional oil in it’s technology – drilling very deep holes. I suspect that Yeo has little involvement with this sector. Yet.
I prefer Classical gas myself
I prefer gas I can afford.
Having read the link, ITI seems to be concentrating on controlled burning of domestic and similar refuse to produce gas to power an IC engine connected to a small(ish) generator supplying the grid with (typically) a 1MW rated capacity. Very small beer by electricity generation standards, and certainly nothing whatever to do with extraction of shale gas.
Which raises the questions of where the refuse collected (by whom and at what cost?) is to be stored till burning (acquisition and maintenance cost of the land and/or buildings?) and where the burning will take place (transportation required and at what cost, or on-site?) and how much of a “free lunch” there is in the processing (i.e., how much energy can be produced versus how much expended to start and continue the process, and how much can it be sold for, to justify capital and labour cost of the entire enterprise from the start). Our Timmy may have his thumb pulling out plums from a number of Christmas pies here. Keep digging, Guido. You may be swinging and missing on the fracking aspect, but Timmy will still have a glass jaw when you DO connect on this one, I’m willing to bet.
Head of Research at ITI holds number of patents relating to demulsifying and separation of Oil and Water, both useful when dealing with the non-gas waste of fracking.
Those are pretty well-established techniques, though are they not? The patents are in all probability for minor technical improvements.
given he has a declared interest in this market might it not be very useful to have his input ? ok we might not like him but what is he actually doing that is so wrong ?
In this instance, nothing, as far as I can see. The statements Yeo made in his clip seemed quite sensible and well informed, given that we don’t know the full extent of shale gas reserves yet.
I suspect that Yeo jumped on the ‘renewables’ bandwagon several years ago while it was political flavour of the month in Whitehall and Westminster. Now that reality is (at long last) slowly dawning (except in Ed Davey’s case) in W and W that the wheels of practicality and affordability fell of that particular wagon some time ago, Yeo may be regretting his investment decisions and directorships. He would be wise to shift his interests to shale gas pronto; it’s a proven technology that might actuaally make a worthwhile contribution to the UK’s energy needs.
Why are we going for gas when we have so much coal.
Because coal is dirty! It makes so much CO2 when burnt.
Exactly how much CO2 comes up with the gas? Or do you all believe nature made gas pockets of just “natural gas” for our enjoyment. It needs significant processing.
Some commercial sites are running 10-20% CO2. So they tell us that it will be pumped back down again. Not really, they have to pump it down an old field. But they do not have old fields.
It is all a con to go from a 2:1 ratio of Hydrogen to Carbon to a 4:1 ratio. Especially when the difference is wasted with the extra processing energy costs and venting of the waste.
That is ignoring the H2S extraction.
It is a con.
D-Alpha gas field is 71% CO2.
I suppose it depends on whether or not you choose to believe the theory that slight increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration is causing man-made global warming. The scientific evidence for that seems to be debatable, to say the least.
how much co2 produced directly by fracking…..virtually none….no oyxgen with the organics trapped in shale to make it….that is why the matrix is saturated with methane…… anaerobically…..or else it would not be there.
the potential is awesome.
“As a result, the CO2 levels in produced Antrim Gas steadily grow during a wells productive life, eventually topping 30% in some areas.”
Say we rotted down human life where do you think the 65% mass of oxygen would go.
Anaerobic bacteria do process oxygen atoms, they just do not process gaseous oxygen. The “food” is high in oxygen.
Even a school child knows how much equivalent water is in animal and plant life. Water has oxygen in it.
Something else every school child knows – carbon dioxide is plant food.
But they are dead by that point.
Now you’re being silly. Where’s the evidence for that assertion?
brilliant this is what a free press is for keep up the good work
excellent nose proper journo channeling by guido

Try using punctuation. That way, your post might make some sense.
Sorry, but you got that wrong too Guido.Gasification equipment is for extracting methane (syngas) from biomass or organic waste. Gas from fracking doesn’t need to be gasified because it already is gas.
Head of research has a number of patents for processes to demulsify layoured liquids and also to separate water and oil, both useful in post fracture processing.
Right wing political blogger,Guido Fawkes said he rejected the notion that David Cameron would be “carried shoulder high back into number 10 by Stonewall activists”.

That’s a great idea. Let’s tax affairs!
‘Let’s tax affairs’. Great idea, country will be out of the financial shit in a fortnight! Come on you lot, think of England!
…and why is Keith Vaz backing the d’ead nurse’s family?
Shameless opportunism?
That’s part of it but I’m not so naive as to think there isn’t more to it.
Remember…’Vaz on manoeuvres’.. Well spotted Lady Britain.
Thanks Keith I’ve won a tenner,when this lady died I said ‘Vaz will be there’,go Vaz go
Time for this march on London town, my pips have been well and truly squeezed.
Yeo is a fracking disgrace!
