CCGT only operates in open cycle for the type of response you need to fulfill STOR requirements. Thats why the cost is so high for electricity from OCGT. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also a tax exile - The UK should adopt a similar tax system as the USA. If you have UK citizenship you are liable for tax anywhere on the planet.

ronwagn + 6,290 March 10, 2019 I guess you don't have an actual source on the claim that he didn't want to live above a shale play. I have commented in my article that he is like an Ayn Rand hero and that she predicted the future very well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have commented in my article that he is like an Ayn Rand hero and that she predicted the future very well. The point is - he doesn't live above a shale play - he choses to live in tax exile with Europes super rich. Coincidentally its the residents in those prospective areas that are most resistant to shale gas developments. Ive no idea what the relevance of Ayn Rand is to this. Had one too many Sherry's this afternoon? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What do they get. Jobs - very few as workers will be shipped in Training to help local residents get into O&G jobs. I will believe that when I see it. Money for infrastructure - nope cos Ratcliffe and his spivs use every tax avoidance tactic to avoid paying any form of tax which would fund that infastructure. Traffic - yes, lots of it further damaging infrastructure that El Spivo won't pay for Air pollution - yep. Not just from the frack sites but from associated traffic Water pollution. Quite possibly Noise - yep - lots of it. Them 2500 hp drill rigs are not renowned for being quite. Earthquakes - quite possibly Long term legacy of contaminated sites after El Spivo has fooked off to live in his tax haven and the tax payer picking up the tab? More than likely Lets be honest why do anything else but obstruct the development if you live near to them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ronwagn + 6,290 March 10, 2019 The problem is that they are not paid for their oil and other mineral rights. That is their system and could be changed. As it is they need to be well compensated for any aggravation. It is a major loss for Britain however. The Green propaganda about fracking is the major hindrance to development though. It is not the actualities. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
