A fracker says that the geology of the UK makes it unsuitable for fracking, except on a small scale that would hardly be worth the trouble.

That is good news for the UK. Experience in the US shows fracking can poison aquifers, which is long-term damage that the balance sheets don't count.

Because Truss is an ideological right-winger, I could imagine her as going all-out to push for fracking, even if it isn't profitable.
