The North Sea is a mature basin and there isn't that much gas left in the UK sectors

If there's little left, why does it need to be banned? This is like the German argument against nuclear - it's supposedly expensive, and yet it needs to be banned because otherwise there would be plenty of it.

It isn’t banned.

Well, fracking kind of is, we stopped after we tried it and it caused ground tremors.

		AFAIK we use fracking type techniques in the North Sea Part of the problem with fracking on mainland UK is not just the tremors but that there’s also not much proven gas either
