From INFAs point of view upon a ML licence they would/could recieve investment into the £300m project very quickly and recover at the worst case scenario the £15 min already invested ?
According to infa they have covered all concerns and have top barrister on board so I'm sure the decision by The minister is fairly cut and dried.Two or more years is ridiculous to get this sorted.any concerns could have been passed onto infa by now and dealt with accordingly.Storage underground is a safe method and the discharge of brine into the sea the only concern as I understand it and extending a pipe seems a relatively easy solution.
Re IM Chitta this was also mentioned in recent debate
I am under the impression that, should I approve the application, I will be challenged judicially, and, if I refuse the application, I will be challenged judicially. I have to make a decision based on the information provided to me, not on whether one or other party will challenge me judicially thereafter. If I make a decision and one or other party challenges that decision, it is for that party to demonstrate that I have not been rational and have not done all the things that I should have done as a Minister. Who knows what would happen thereafter?
You can take that eitherway however which way he calls it he will be able to back his decision in a court of law so it will be a very expensive process to dispute
I have read all the evidence from two parties regarding saline discharge for MLat a worse case scenario and both fall within permitted resrictions .

Be interesting to see how it all plays out.Infa spending money in a way that suggests they know some significant funding is waiting in the wings..It seems ridiculous the time the ML has taken and smells fishy .whatever the differing views and theories it does seem that infa is on the cusp.
Chitta123 ref 16.26 post You are missing my point I do ot disagree with you with regards to gas security and the use of a regassification vessel. My point was specific to the Dorset Spirit it is only three years old so is too new to be converted as I am not sure that the costs of building together with related costs and ROI would have been recouped yet.
Hi chitta totally respect your view but worth considering the Russian scare mongering tactics regarding nord stream2
https://www.euractiv.com/section/energy/news/kremlin-nord-stream-2-start-will-help-cap-gas-prices-in-europe/
However gas/energy security long term is a different matter
Kilroot and other gas power stations will be needed in the interim between fossil fuels and green energy
IM will provide that along with Hydrogen storage as and when it is ready.This is a bit of a long read but worth it noting Ballymunford and Kilroot energy park and a £600m investment

Stokey.question I don't think we have 2 years.We need something before then and regasification vessels are surely the answer.A cold winter will put a huge strain on heating and power generation and gas is the stepping stone to Hydrogen.Infastrata are right in the thick of it for me and Barrow and Belfast would be the starting points in my view.
