Rees-Mogg refused to promise that residents would get to vote on whether projects should go ahead. Instead he repeatedly said it would be up to fracking companies to come up with plans that would be welcomed by residents. He said these should involve people being compensated financially for the inconvenience they would face.

Mogg is saying that the fracking companies are willing to pay the local communities for their permission for fracking. Mogg should declare how much he and his representatives get out of such deals
And how many shares they have in the companies.
Was confirmed by the mick boss of one of these fwakin companies that they'd pay locals a revenue but NOT any percentage of/from profits
Also how much will he and his LYING CONMEN brexiteers pay the British people for the £60billion a year that he has cost the British economy?
JRM: "Where do you think you are? The EU? Get off my lawn!"
A bit controversial sometimes
Being paid off to keep quiet about it and being asked for your consent/support/opinion on it are not the same thing. Everyone there could see that, except for Reese-Mogg, who tried painfully hard to twist the idea of "consent" essentially into the idea of bribery, and hope somehow noone would notice.
I wonder how much he's getting in his pocket from the frackers
Never ever vote tory!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thankfully you are in a minority otherwise we would now be governed by a bunch of terrorist supporting commies and Corbyn as PM

The Moggster has obviously been on the "how to never answer a direct question" course.
Perhaps he has been exchanging methodology with Coffey as she never answers a question or says anything of real substance either. How some working class people champion Mogg as an intellectual giant, just because he is fairly articulate and speaks with a posh accent is mind blowing. He is consistently wrong on most topics. Recently, you just need to look at his predictions prior to Brexit and linked to that about the NI protocol and also freedom of movement. No queues at Dover, if I remember correctly. He is normally wrong on every major prediction and policy. Why people continue to support him is totally beyond me. The man is totally and utterly incompetent and should not be a sitting MP let alone a Secretary of State IMHO 😤
Tory MP's are unhappy, why, because it is the end of their 'careers'!

So what can we take from the ministers answers? There will be no fracking in Somerset, but everywhere else had better watch out.

Literally no one is surprised he did that. That's why Liz put him in that position, one he has no business in. As a matter of fact Moggs has no business on any public office.

Absolute parasite, in my opinion.
He belongs in a museum
This from the man who did a survey om going back to imperial weights and measures that did not have te option for things to stay as they are. I could imagine the question put to the communities to be 'How much to you support fracking in your area? A lot, Happy, do not mind'.
Excellent point.

Windfall taxes would go nowhere near the bill for this.

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his income depends on his not understanding it." -- Upton Sinclair
The Tory Minister is trying desperately to appear to give a direct, clear cut and unambiguous assurance that local people will be asked, and in doing so ends up explaining they will *not* in fact be be asked. But then what's one more broken promise to a Tory Government; after all Tory promises are made to be broken.
More lefty cry baby BS. Will you change your mind when people start dying because some other foreign government has threatened the energy supply they have control of?
The amount of Uturns are adding up quick.
We need fracking because I can't afford heating this winter
Many people can't
So you want me and my mum to freeze to death do you?
You should stop pretending we are all as wealthy as you are.
@@daz97 An emotive argument; But there is _No_ evidence to support your claim that _fracking_ is the answer to the problem of high gas prices. A British Geological Survey peer-reviewed paper (released in 2019) said that it would take 3 years to produce less than 1% of UK demand if fracking was resumed. On top of that, any gas produced would not reduce gas prices for the consumer because the price for gas is set by the international market price and UK shale gas would largely be for export.
The Government has delayed publication of a 2022 review by the British Geological Survey (carried out for the Government) into the scientific evidence around fracking for shale gas......I wonder why? Could it be that it shows fracking is not the answer?
I don't want anyone to freeze to death, including my own family as I am not wealthy either. Here's some practical advice to help you save some money, change a couple of settings on your mum's boiler to reduce the heating “flow temperature” and turn off hot water “pre-heating”, this will save her at least £250 a year. And the Government need to set a more affordable price cap for this winter, paid for by extra tax from oil and gas companies, not a loan to us that we will have to pay back with higher bills.
In the long term, insulating homes across the UK and investing sustainable energy has far more potential to provide more energy at lower cost for the the future, than the geologically unstable practice of fracking that will only increase profits for gas companies.

So with all of your research you forgot to think for yourself?

And making our own energy means...

I believe shale gas could be found in North East Somerset. It exists in many parts the UK.

I hope there's about 100 million cubic yards of the stuff right under his constituency home.
It might be found close to large housing estates and on small holdings and on land his investments trust bought over the last 20 year's.

These are all conservative MPs opposing a conservative decision
Where is Starmer ? Is he not supposed to provide Opposition ? I guess he just specializes in witch hunts within his own party, and little else.
So, in case you missed that, no! local people will not get to vote on fracking. They will not get to choose whether they want it or not. Despite him repeatedly, dodging the question, in doing, so, he actually answered it.
When they first tried to push this threw a few years back they quickly got to the point where the government were planning on making it an issue of national importance, just so they could trample all over any past lip service agreements to only frack where communities had consented. They cannot be trusted, the Tory cabinet has time after time been shown to issue bare faced lies, and it only got worse under Johnson's debacle of a cabinet. The rolling roster of names change but the story remains, the Tories want to erode your rights at every turn.
To summarise, private companies will decide where they want to commence fracking, the public won't be consulted, the companies will then provide the bare minimum compensation required to avoid rioting. And carbon will continue to be pumped into the atmosphere.

Although completely different, Putin telling people they must be conscripted & our sham government side stepping questions on if fracking will be imposed, are two sides of the same coin! Look at the policy of this government and it doesn't take a genius to work out that they are bought and paid for.

How many shaes has his company in Ireland got in Fracking and other Fossil Fuel companies? We need to know Guardian
If he joins the house of lords where 50% of Tory Lords have shares in Energy companies, then he'll be forced to reveal his shares.

There has been analysis after analysis about fracking in the UK and it being highly uncompetitive unless gas prices are rather high. So in essence it is of no value to us because we either have high prices and some fracked gas or low prices and no fracking because it is unprofitable.
The government is just doing what it does best. Inane policies that can never work and no sensible company will agree to. Hoodwinking the population into thinking they are doing something about the cost of living crisis. They will just pay lots of taxpayer money to their mates to do "independent assessments" that conclude what most experts have already said. That's all this is about.
Yeah but when they start fracking prices won’t go down
Not the Fracking side show, it will just be like 'Cider with Rosie' this time no hay and the Cider will be imported.
Fracking floods will be catastrophic for areas flooded with water contaminated with hundreds of toxic fracking chemicals leaving areas permanently uninhabitable and unusable for humans, animals agriculture, farming and housing.
When you have at least three of your side against fracking, that is bad. We all know that fracking is bad, especially when a lot of states in america has banned it. It is not safe, and it will come back and bite the Torries in the backside in the future.

Those MPs obviously didn’t get the memo, you’re supposed to doff your cap whenever you are in the presence of Mr Rees-Mogg and defer to his superior intellect.
4:15 - the answer is, your constituents will be ASKED if they give consent. What he’s not telling you, is that if the answer is NO - they do not consent, then the oil company laughs in your face and says “well I’m sorry, but we’re taking it anyway - we’ve claimed eminent domain.”
The Mariner East pipeline went 350 miles across Pennsylvania, in to the Delaware to be shipped to your shores. And THAT is because you do NOT allow fracking. Keep it that way. Because our water is contaminated… and they are the devils.
At least be up front about it.
Exactly - Odd that those in favour of fracking centre on the "minor" seismic affects but don't mention the long list of standard side affects that come along with it or that the one bribe ... sorry I meant to write benefit won't cover the cost of the negatives.

Nothing personally against Jacob Rees-Mogg, of course, but his impaired intellect does make me wonder if Britain should grant such levels of access to positions of power to lesser minds like his. I understand there are certain advantages to positive discrimination, of course, I do, but I think we should be careful in going too far.
Now we see the real reason for the energy hike and now fracking resumes under the hype they'll be doing us all a favour trying to find our own energy
Rees-Mogg is a kind of chap who would drive his horse into the peasants if he were living in the middle ages.
to sum up, then - 'No'
Truss is worse than Johnson, who would believe it.
Paying money to get the communities' concent to the hazardous fracking processes is clearly an act of encouraging bribing and illegally sanctioning a procedure which will dangerously impact not only the individual concenting communities but the entire nation as a domino reaction. How can a responsible government jeapordise the safety and security of its people just to show they are doing something to resolve a serious issue.

We have no gas because we have no gas storage because the tories closed the facility
Shale gas won't be given away. It'll be given over to the private suppliers who will charge what they want. It'll take years to extract what they reckon is under the ground anyway provided the process doesn't bring down anyone's home of course
Saying no will not be an option. The only question is the size of the bribes to make the answer yes.
What might these packages consist of, and how are these companies and there offers overseen?
Surprised I’m saying this but proud of local MPs.
It will be interesting to see the stats in a few years. I wonder if it's the more deprived areas that would have the most shale gas sights compared to the least deprived, per m³ of potential gas.
Blackpool and Fylde is the epicentre of fracking in the UK plans. Blackpool is amongst the most deprived areas in the country.
