Shale is technically challenging in the UK because of the geological history of being involved in the last three mountain building exercises leading to faulting - Cuadrilla managed to pressure lubricate a fault until it slipped .

Renewable is not the only possible long term future . Mankind may learn to sustain and harness hot fusion or cold fusion could be proven or some completely new and unforeseen could come along .
