I think that they would have to up the anti considerably to buy a controlling interest. The asking price is currently 5.09, any further massive, takeover type buys will shove that up to 7- 8pence. It has always been on the cards, of course that UKOG is too small to fend off the predetators . What is surprising is that no big oillie has jumped in although, one never knows the full story , who is EOG are they just a holding company responsible to somebody else up the tree ?

Oh mankind is bound to make a difference along with volcanos and other forms of airborne polution But, if you were around in the 1940s and 1950s when every house virtually across the temperate world depended upon coal fires for heating and chimneys used to belch forth smoke in great pillars, then we have come a long way to cleaning up our act. The greatest human pollutent is population growth and the demands that has upon energy resources and the heat coming off of the centrally heated homes. Already the air temperature above a big city is anything up to 2 degrees higher.. However, if anything, human activity is probably only delaying the inevitable for a couple of hundred years, it is going to happen anyway. I don't if you saw the recent programme on the lost meteor. It seems that one of the largest ever recorded hit Scotland a billion, or so, years ago. It buried itself 8 miles deep in a crater 40 miles across, the effect would have been to create a mini ice age around the whole world. Rember the dinosaurs were said to have been wiped out by a meteor impact, some time later. Then probably within a very short few years there will be a nuclear war followed by a nuclear winter, the population will be killed either by radiation, or starvation... Live life to the full today, we don't know what will happen, nor have we much control over it either. I am afraid that Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth are much too simplistic

There is no such thing as an optimum climate for Earth, it swings between ice age to hot and back again. Has done always will do always. Currently we are still warming up after the last ice age. At some times in the past the earth has been 8 to 15 degrees hotter, and technically we are still in an ice age. Sometimes parts of the UK as far south as London have been under a mile thick of ice . Global warming is quite a natural thing so don't get in a panic about it !

Yep, snow and frost in late April, global warming's a ***** ! (I hope members of Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth remembered to put on their thermals today)

I think, like the banks, Shale gas and any home produced energy source, is too big to fail so they will be feather bedded. Regrettably if Labour get in, they are talking of massive amounts of money all financed by taxing companies . Quickest way into debt is Labour. Quickest way out of debt Conservative

Hi Rogue, I wonder if some of the councillors are merely electioneering.i.e make the decision not to make a decision for, so leave it to the Government to make a decision so then able to decry or strongly support the Government's decisions depending how they estimate that their own electorate will view it . Nothing to do with Shale, all about self

Seems the way is clear, but the lawyers will continue to take money off of these lambs for slaughter if they can think of another trip wire to bring it to Court again. Not all lawyers are engaged in pursuing veterans of Iraq, some make money by triggering duff appeals

Oh I imagine that some investors and market skimmers have been waiting days for this SP to move even slightly upwards, not to mention automatic computer related buys and sells. We can reasonably see that the news is better today than it was yesterday, and that probably sets the long term trend upwards

and there have been other spin-offs too, such as road transport Fact; Burning of fossil fuels increases green house gasses and leads to global warming ?! Shale gas however is less polluting than petroleum and can be used to fuel cars. Fact. Global warming will cause coastal flooding ?! It is regrettable that Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth, seem to imagine that there is an OPTIMUM climate for the earth. There is not, and there never has been. In the past 750,000 years Great Britain has suffered four major ice ages, some of which lasted more than 100,000 years. The last one ended just a scant 11,000 years ago. So it is clear that the Earth naturally cycles between warm and cold. logically as the world warms up after each ice age, huge areas of land, currently in places like Greenland, North Canada+ massive areas of Northern Siberia, and islands close or near the South pole will become newly productive of prolific plant matter. These plants need CO2, which they convert to sugars, and oxygen thus, they will be extracting CO2 from the atmosphere in increasing amounts leading to CO2 depletion and a reversal of the global warming process, and the world cools down again, Natural cycling springs to mind ! So to which temperature would Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth wish the world to be pegged ? At 1,000,000 years ago, 250,000 years ago, 5000 years ago, 10 years ago, last week ? There is also a stromg theory that the Sun, itself, cycles a little between maximum and minimum output, so they would have to factor that in too. As for coastal flooding, Great Britain has been largely submerged many times in its history, visit any chalk pit, or limestone quarry, to see the evidence first hand ! Fact: We can preserve things as they are today ? That is poppycock ! It would require heavenly powers that are not readily available to focus groups. Fact: Because of the movements of the tectonic plates Great Britain and Scandinavia are being thrust North East, with its axis somewhere in Russia. Fact: In another 5,000,000 years, give or take a couple of seconds, Great Britain will be very near the North Pole and somewhere North of where Moscow is today, Eventually it will complete its long voyage to around about where Japan is today, and then most probably the whole country will be sub-ducted beneath the Pacific plate, and eventually be spewed out as lava in various parts of the world, to create new islands. During that time the world will have experienced several dozen warming up and cooling down periods ! Fact: Despite Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth, and Frackfree’s determinations as to how they alone can save the globe and humanity I am afraid that they cannot, ask any Dinosaur !

Hi, I have put forward a discourse on the subject of Fracking and the many myths which are propounded as if they were facts by the anit frackilng fraternity. Don't forget to sign the Parliamentary petition https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/188962 Regrettably the discourse will lose format because it is pasted in , but basicall the word 'Fact' is in a column of its own to the left of its associated paragraph. Getting fracking and climate change into perspective Fact; Fracking is not new. Fact: Two million wells have been fracked worldwide. Fact: Two hundred have been fracked in the UK. Fact; Caudrilla never admitted to causing the minor earth tremors. Their statement was: ‘They probably caused the two small earth tremors’. Probably is not a fact and cannot be used a proof of an event. It could well have been phrased that way to shut down the media and the inevitable conspiracy theories if they had said nothing, or gave an outright denial. Fact; Great Britain suffers about 300 minor earth tremors every year, with a larger one about every four years. So can we be sure these were not natural tremors ? Fact; Despite alarmist statements no babies have been still born or suffered birth defects which are attributable to fracking. No water tables have been irreparably poisoned by fracking Fact; Leakage of methane from drill sites is negligible and would not be sustained because the objective of drilling is to sell the gas, not vent it to the atmosphere. Of course methane is ever present in our atmosphere, it bubbles up in marshy places and swamps all over the world . It has done this for millions of years, it is known by various names such as . Marsh Gas, Swamp gas and wil o the wisp, and in mines it is known as fire damp. Gas pockets are often penetrated accidentally when water wells are constructed. Fact: Physical industrial accidents apart, nobody has been killed by Shale gas. Fact: The owners of Shale exploration companies and their operatives are people too. They have wives and husbands, they have children, and grandchildren and uncles and aunts and parents and grand parents and nieces and nephews, and just plain friends. In other words they are the same as anybody else, thus not likely to wish to kill their families and friends. Fact; There are bound to be some minor events as a result of fracking, there is always some risk in any industrial enterprise. Certainly not on the scale of coal mining in the past. Any danger will be extremely small and local. Fact; Shale gas is not a game changer in the UK ? ! Prior to the development of Shale gas America, used to import 25% of all of the oil produced throughout the world. When Shale gas was exploited in America their requirement for overseas oil plummeted, causing a glut of oil on the world markets which halved the price of petrol. Just your car alone costs up to £30 a month less to run, and ther

From EDR Quote: We will issue an RNS at the point at which the appeal documentation is submitted to the planning inspectorate as this marks the actual start of proceedings. Unquote

Looks a bit better, like that but it is something that the Shareholders would be interested in and if it is in the public domain why would not not release an RNS and also put it on their website . I will E-mail them as Rouge suggested

I am wondering where this came from . It doesn't look like a professionally produced document to me, also it is RNS material and has not been published as an RNS, and it does not seem to appear on the Edgdon website . Is it a scam ?

If it is true,, then it may give a small temporary lift to the SP on monday, of course it will sink back in the interim, but MMs can make a buck or two

They seem to have sat on their hands for years now, not to slow to offer themselves discretionary shares in huge amounts but at the same time producing absolutely nothing. Of course it is productive in one sense, the BoD draw good salaries, so it dosen't matter much to them as long as they get paid

I'm waiting until it hits over 70p to go blue

Unless the PIs can get the value of the shares up, then I foresee a 40:1, or 50:1 on the cards. It is an uphill strugge to get the price up though because if you have a million shares and they go up just one penny, then you would be daft not to sell, some of course, will trade in at points of a penny rise . So it makes us smaller PI very vulnerable, it takes outstanding news to shift the stock upwards to a maintained level, and that has not been forthcoming

Its from the web waybackbut sobering to read http://www.inc.com/bill-carmody/why-96-of-businesses-fail-within-10-years.html. Possibly the statistics are not so bad for those of us into Shale and home oil, because they may not be allowed to go bust, but we can see some of these difficulties with iGas at the moment
