In a very short period of time the discovery and explotation of shale gas has changed the world's energy balance. The US, once the largest importer of hydrocarbons is now starting to export Liquified Natural Gas (LNG). One of their customers is us; the gas will be imported (along with gas from Qatar) into the terminal at Milford Haven in Pembrokeshire.
We do need to ask ourselves some serious questions about our loss of energy independence and whether we need to use our own shale gas resources in places like Lancashire and here in the Vale of Glamorgan.
