UK To Import Shale Gas From U.S. After Banning Fracking At Home

wind uk rishi sunakPrime Minister Rishi Sunak’s plan to increase imports of American natural gas has been branded as “expensive hypocrisy” in light of his decision to ban fracking in the United Kingdom.

On Wednesday, Rishi Sunak and President Joe Biden will announce the UK-US Energy Security and Affordability Partnership, in which the United States will seek to export at least nine to ten billion cubic meters of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) to Britain over the next year. [emphasis, links added]


The deal was struck in the hopes of preventing energy blackouts in the UK as well as further diminishing reliance on Russian gas.

In a joint statement ahead of the official announcement, Biden and Sunak said per the Daily Mail:

Why are we sending gas needed here to the Brits?

It's "needed here" to increase supply to meet demand -- and by doing so, lower prices.

NO domestically-produced energy should be exported, until there is a deemed surplus of it here.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
