Jeffrey Shaw Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 True in the US, or true in the UK. The UK- or, more accurately, England/Wales. Remember that: a. there are three different jurisdiction in the UK; just as b. there are forty-nine in the USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember that: a. there are three different jurisdiction in the UK; just as b. there are forty-nine in the USA. Indeed. And given that the contract in question was in one of those US jurisdictions, the law of England and Wales isn't very relevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shale Fracking is coming whether some like it or not, when it comes we should make sure that we all benefit with a fair share unlike the rip-off we experienced with North Sea Oil & Gas.

Peer Gynt Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Is that somehow related to my comment that you quoted? I'm not really interested I'm just trying to get people aware of the danger of being ripped off again like they were with North Sea Oil & Gas..

I expect those who buy shares in the companies which do the fracking and supply the product will receive dividends. What would be a fair return on a zero-cost investment? 10%? 20%? How would you decide what a 'fair share' should be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than we got from North Sea Oil & Gas when prices continued to rise instead of fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFKvsNixon Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 More than we got from North Sea Oil & Gas when prices continued to rise instead of fall. Maybe the North Sea Oil and gas caused our fuel costs to rise at a lower rate than it would have if we had to rely on the international markets?

Maybe, maybe, some people were really sucked in or will just say owt for an argument. ---------- Post added 12-08-2013 at 08:27 ---------- 'We' being the shareholders? Do you think you should get more than you got as a shareholder or more than those who had not risked their capital got? So where did the money go from the sell off of the shares? Don't recall gas & Oil being cheaper but I do recall our PM going to the world Bank to borrow money when North Sea was in full flow. Yes it did us a lot of good I don't think. BTW You're not one of those who likes giving overseas aid to African despots as well are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
