We will be able to control how it is extracted. Would the Deputy prefer that or would he prefer fracked or shale gas? Furthermore, it is the closest point to us in transporting gas. There is infrastructure that could be used to bring it ashore for refining. We would be in control, whereas in Russia, Canada or anywhere else, we do not have any control over how they do their business. We must buy gas without any control over how it is produced.
