Perhaps something on twitter? their hashtag is #itvtonight
Included so far is an explanation of fracking, the benefits of it for Britain's energy needs and (opposing) opinions from a Greens MP and the editor of the Spectator.
Some points they're covering:
- US (particularly Pennysylvania mentioned as a shining example), Sweden, Germany & Poland mentioned, especially Estonia too - Some dude (see link) in the US thinks water is contaminated since fracking - Wells have 3-5 layers of casing to prevent/minimise risk of contamination - Fracking has lots of support in Pennysylvania. Utility prices down, cheaper to heat home, etc - A farmer in the Village of Dimmock, leases his land, receives royalty cheques from fracking, so he's happy and claims it's positively changed life for those in the area - Federation of Small Businesses (UK) supports the wider benefits of fracking for creating jobs, etc - Fracking likely to restart in Lancashire next year - Activists claim health issue concerns, scenes of police pushing picket lines away - Government is fully behind fracking, to ensure future energy needs, question of when, rather than if fracking is inevitable. - Exploratory work at Baulkham(Who?) and soon near Manchester. In early footage they showed a tank with "Caudrilla" on the side.
Show just finished so off to dinner, starving! Most of these points we already know about, but I figured it's worth mentioning the TV feature, given it's during a peak-viewing time of 7:30-8pm :)
