IMO a ban in fracking will do more good than bad for the following reasons;

• No chance of water table contamination from fracking
• No bad publicity
• Very little chance of lots of money going up in Scotland (most of the money will leave Scotland, just like the oil- we will be left with crumbs; remember the broad shoulders of the UK that kept all the oil jobs going during the downturn - me neither)
• We need to keep fossil fuels in the ground
• We can use renewable (why does nobody talk about tidal as last time I looked the moon turned up to do the tide when predicted)
• Any damage from permitted fracking will adversely affect farming, food and whisky which are all Scottish key exports.

We can use pump storage / hydrogen (from tidal) to store the excess energy.

That was covered in the 2014 report. The reality is you haven't got any valid reasons to oppose it. Sounds more like NIMBYism to me.

When you jump in you car tomorrow think about it again.

Valid reason = what the Scottish public want.

A public consultation on fracking policy attracted more than 65,000 responses, with about 65% of those from communities in former coal mining areas of central Scotland targeted by the fracking industry. Of those, 99% of respondents opposed it,

One of the largest public consultation exercises since devolution began. Fracking isn't wanted in Scotland. End of story.

The Scottish public don't want independence either but that doesn't stop the SNP pushing for it. :cool:
