The issue of fracking will be on the political agenda over the next 12 months.

Alternatively you could discover just how far eco-activists go in order to stop fracking because of it's supposed dangers:

This is one of those topics that people get emotional about so the facts never get properly discussed, a bit like global warming.
In this case arithmetic rules.
People don't want it near them.

There will be no saving on fuel bills.
Sum total = vote loser.

Earlier on in the debate some stupid uninformed politician suggested that fuel bills would go down. They probably won't because we have a global energy market but to leave this stuff in the ground if,it can provide us with energy would be very silly. Scare stories by eco zealots have proved to be nothing but children's bedtime horror stories (earthquakes, burning water and the rest of it) and tend to put the willies up those who know nothing about the issue.
Even the IPCC have come out and said that we should exploit shale gas and oil potential.
What would be a vote loser is any party in power who preside over an economy whose lights go out which is where we are heading precisely because of environmental measures to stop the planet warming (excuse me while I roll on the floor laughing my bottom off).
Fossil fuels were put in the ground for a reason. To supply the world with life giving energy so that we might thrive as humans.
No to take this precious resource from the depths and use this for the greater good is a crime against humanity.
To install wind farms and solar farms is also a crime against humanity and good taste.

I watched that interview on the daily politics on Sunday and it made the tea come out through my nose I laughed so much. The interviewer, Jools or Jules or something, must have felt she was set to win the Pulitzer prize for investigative journalism such was her reaction when she exclaimed "Do you know where that quote comes from blah, blah, blah".
No I'm afraid you won't be winning any journalistic prizes any time soon.
In fact Tim Loughton wasn't far off the mark. In terms of water usage fracking uses far less than other energy forms some of which the greenies of the world believe there should be more of. Corn ethanol and soy biodiesel use use many thousands times more water for the same amount of energy created. Nuclear and coal use more than fracking although much, much less than the previous two, er, "sustainable forms of energy".
In terms of it's environmental impact regarding what some call climate change ( I know some still believe in the nonsense) wind farms and solar arrays use up far great land area, produce more carbon dioxide in their production, produce dangerous heavy metals and other toxic chemicals in the mining for materials used in the making of these devices and cause more misery to those who have to mine for the rare elements without which there would be no solar panels or wind turbines.

No broadcaster or other organ of the media can be relied upon to be impartial. They all have an agenda. I use the BBC for entertainment, not to inform my opinions.
