and it works exactly the same way on here with peoples' investment. Unless of course they live in the area it might happen . The irony to me is the largest onshore oil production field in Europe is based at Wytch Farm and its been there since the 1970s producing away. Set amidst a large number of important conservation areas including marine areas. It has a pipeline to Fawley which has been in operation for yonks Extended drilling wells burrow under some of the most expensive real estate in the world, namely Sandbanks yet this aspect is never mentioned. At its peak it was producing over 100,000 bopd This is chiefly because this large field development happened before the Greens were invented. Most of the population of nearby Poole are neither aware or care about the fact even now that this field has been producing continously since the late 1970s under their noses. Hardly ever mentioned, its a pity the Greens don't drive down in their motorcars to protest. Just shows how ignorant they and many others are when it comes to oild production. For all I know they might have done a bit of fracking round Poole Harbour in the past.
