Abstract: Although Weber voiced doubts about the scientific value of the concepts of "ethnicity" and "nation," in his work one can detect the outlines of two theories of nation. In the political-sociological theory (exposed in Economy and Society), the nation is understood as a status group united by common historical memory and fighting for the prestige of power and culture with other nations. Besides that, in his early work Weber outlines the political-economical (or "national-economical") theory of nation, conceiving nation as the organizational form of economic association which is optimal in the fight for "elbow-room" in the globalized "Malthusian world" as described by the classical model of long-term economic dynamics. Weberian political-economical concept of nations and nationalism is explicated using recent idea of rent-seeking, and is applied to highlight the deficiencies of the prevailing E.Gellner-E.Hobsbawm-B.Anderson theory of nations and nationalism.
Resume: Bien que Weber ait des hesitations concernant la valeur scientifique des notions de la "nation" et "l'ethnicite" c'est possible distinguer les esquisses des deux theories de la nation dons ses travaux. La theorie politique-sociologique (en Economie et societe) define la nation comme une groupe de statut uni par la memoire historique commune, qui se battre contre les autres nations pour le prestige de pouvoir et culture. Dons ses travaux premiers Weber profile aussi la theorie politique-economique (ou "national-economique") de la nation. Ici la nation est conceptualisee comme une formed' organisation de association economique, qui est optimale pour la lutte pour l'espace vitale dans "le monde scion Malthus" (comme il c'est decrit dons le medele classique de la dynamique economique d'une longue duree) globalisee. La conception weberienne politique-economique des nations et nationalisme est reconstruite an utilisant la notion contemporaine des "lutte pour des rentes" (rent-seeking). Cette conception est aussi utilise pour exposer les defauts de in theorie de la nation et nationalisme de E.Gellner-E. Hobsbawm-B.Anderson, qui prevaut jusqu' a present.
In one of his essays comparing the theoretical views of Max Weber and Ernest Gellner, Perry Anderson noted: "Whereas Weber was so bewitched by the spell of nationalism that he was never able to theorize it, Gellner has theorized nationalism without detecting the spell" (Anderson, P. 1992: 205). Anderson wants to say that Gellner's theory of nationalism (Gellner 1983, Gellner 1994) cannot explain the attractiveness of the ideas of nationalism. About Weber, Perry Anderson claims that although the famous German sociologist in his political views was an ardent German nationalist, he had no well-considered concept of nations and nationalism, and unreflectively adopted the dominant ideology in Wilhelmine Germany.
In my paper, drawing on Weber's early writings (some of them became more accessible only after their reprint in his Gesamtausgabe), I try to reconstruct Weber's early political-economic (or "national-economic") concept of nation. This is done in the second section of my paper. The first section discusses the later and more widely known political-sociological concept of nation, which is documented by Economy and Society, and the publications during the First World War. In the fourth and concluding section, I will try to evaluate both of Weber's concepts of nation from the viewpoint of the contemporary discussion about nations and nationalism. Most importantly, I will attempt to show here how Weber's early political-economic concept of nations and nationalism can be useful for the revival of the political-economic concept of nationhood which has unfortunately been eclipsed in current discussions. But firstly, I must explain how my contribution is related to the existing body of literature on Weber's notions about nations and nationalism.
One of the reasons why Perry Anderson and other authors writing about the irrationalism and arbitrariness of Weber's nationalism (1) do not find the conceptual foundations of his political choice, is that in their searches they restrict themselves to the quite fragmentary chapters of Weber's Economy and Society devoted to ethnicity and nations, written between 1910 and 1914, and not prepared by Weber himself for publication. (2) In my view, the texts, which are classified as Weber's political publications, are equally important and informative documents on the Weberian concepts of nation and nationalism. David Beetham (Beetham 1985 (1974): 119) has already criticized the view that Weber's political publications are not relevant to understand his theoretical views, His book Max Weber and the Theory of Modern Politics is one of the many contributions to the considerable body of literature on Weber's nationalism. This literature is centered on the question of his political value commitments: was he nationalist rather than liberal or democrat, or vice versa? How is his nationalism compatible with his reputation as an individualist, a liberal and democratic thinker, whose theory of "plebiscitary democracy" was an important contribution to the political theory of democracy?
The prevailing view of Weber as an ardent German nationalist was most strongly stated and carefully documented by Wolfgang Mommsen (1974-(1959): 40-96), supported by Raymond Aron 1991 (1964), and is accepted by Andreas Anter (1995), Beetham, Perry Anderson, Nicholas Xenos (1993) and others. The proponents of this view maintain that (German) nationhood was the supreme value and purpose of Weber's political theory. The critics of this view include Catherine Colliot-Thelene (1990), Wilhelm Hennis (Hennis 1987; Hennis 1996), Lawrence A. Scarf (Scarf 1989: 31ff), and recently Kari Palonen (2001). While pinpointing the influence of Nietzsche's radical elitism on Weber's world outlook (Hennis 1987: 167-194), Hennis foregrounds the roots of Weber's value commitments in the Old European tradition of practical philosophy as described by the German historian Otto Brunner (Brunner (1956) 1968). According to Hennis (Hennis 1987:59-114), Weber inherits from this tradition his concern with the "quality of human beings" or "humankind" (Menschentum), sharing this concern both with Nietzsche and the Social Darwinism of his time. In Hennis' view, Weber was interested in nationhood and the national state not because he was committed to them as "ultimate values," but only because under "modern" conditions they have became unavoidable matters of fact which must be taken into account by all realistic or "sober" (nuchtern) proposals on how to improve the "quality of human beings" and "life conduct" (Lebensfuhrung) (Hennis 1987: 82-88).
However, the most important challenge to the prevalent view is Kari Palonen's paper "Was Max Weber a 'Nationalist'?" (2001). This challenge is part of his enterprise to reestablish Weber's reputation as a liberal and democratic thinker by interpreting his work as a continuation of another part of Old European heritage--the rhetorical tradition (Palonen 1998; Palonen 1999; Palonen 2002). Palonen pleads for a "rhetorical turn" in political science which means its transformation into the kind of discourse analysis concerned with "redescription" techniques used by politicians and publicists in their speech acts to adapt the existing political language to the contingencies of political action. "Rhetorical turn" also means the transformation of political science into the kind of history of political and social concepts concerned with the (macro)changes in the vocabulary of some specific community or with (micro)changes in the vocabulary of some specific author.
These changes can be either those of reference (narrowing or broadening) or of attitude (positive, negative, neutral) of the author's use of certain specific words. Analyzing changes in Weber's use of the word "nationalism," Palonen emphasizes that Weber was rather reluctant to identify himself as a "nationalist." He finds only one passage of this kind. This is the well-known statement from Weber's inaugural lecture, published in 1895: "we economic nationalists measure the classes who lead the nation or aspire to do so with the one political criterion we regard as sovereign" (Weber 1994 (1895):20). Palonen contrasts this self-identification with Weber's statements in his late publicistic writings. Here he distances himself from "nationalism," describing his political standpoint as "national anti-nationalist": "our policy will furthermore, necessarily be anti-nationalistic, not antinational" (Weber 1991b (1918): 122). In these writings, Weber associates "nationalism" with expansionist, annexionist and imperialist policies, as can be seen from the following statement: "we are now facing the necessity of a complete reorientation of the foreign policy. This should be a national but not an imperialistic one" (Weber 1991a (1918): 114).
Palonen explains this contrast by the change in the reference or scope of Weber's concept of nationalism: late Weber identifies "nationalism" with what in his earlier word usage would be referred to as one specific species of nationalism: "expansionist, imperialistic nationalism." But what did "nationalism" mean for Weber in his earlier, not yet narrower usage? As I understand Palonen's argument, "nationalism" in this sense can be defined as a positive attitude to "nation." However, in Palonen's view such a definition makes sense only provided there is a clear idea of what "nation" is. Did Weber have such an idea? After surveying Weber's casuistic reflections on 'nation' (3) in his Economy and Society, Palonen comes to the conclusion (in my view, erroneous one) that they amount to "deconstruction" or "dissolution" of the very concept of nation: "as an analytic concept 'nation' only refers to a vague expectation of a feeling of solidarity" (Palonen 2001: 207). (4) Was then Weber a "nationalist"? Palonen hesitates. On the one hand, he concedes that "Nation remained for Weber a quasi-mythical label containing a positive value, and he upheld this value by disregarding the specific chances contained in his own nominalist dissolution of the concept" (Palonen 2001: 210). On the other, he maintains that in Weber's last years, his positive attitude to the German state was stronger than his attitude to the German "nation." Describing this as a "relatively marginal change," he concludes nevertheless: "it seems to me that the relatively marginal change at the level of the attitudes makes it justified to call Weber, although not a 'nationalist', an apologist of the nation state within the concert of great powers" (Palonen 2001:210).
Palonen's analysis has the merit of showing that Weber's view on nations and nationalism changed. However, I will try to show that it changed not in the way Palonen maintains. This change can be described not as the "narrowing," but rather as the "widening" of his original concept of "nationalism." The "nationalism" late Weber is criticizing (expansionist and imperialist nationalism of great powers) was his own early nationalism. Most importantly, this nationalism was "economic" nationalism, as Weber says in his famous statement cited above.
By questioning the presumption that Weber's nationalism has no well-considered ideas on nations and nationalism that serve as a conceptual framework for his political choices, the criticisms of the received view by Palonen and Hennis and others are useful. Hennis is only interested in discovering more fundamental value premises in Weber's thinking that would make nationalism appear as rational in its role as a means to some more "ultimate" value. However, Weber's political commitment to nationalism or (later) the "national antinationalist" policy of the German state, had descriptive premises, too, which articulated some specific views on what nations and nationalism are. The reconstruction of these (changing) premises and the discussion of their relevance for contemporary work on nations and nationalism is the main objective of this article.
Neither Palonen nor other researchers pay due consideration to the real message of early Weber's self-description as an "economic nationalist." Weber says he is about to speak about nationalism and nations in terms of the discipline he represents. This discipline was political economy, which in the Germany of Weber's times was characteristically called "national economy" (Nationalokonomie), its name referring to the importance of "nation" to the very constitution of its subject. In my reconstruction of Weber's thinking on nations and nationalism, I will take Weber's roots in "national economy" seriously, proceeding from the assumption that his early …

I am looking for records of my GGGrandfather James Holloway Brown. He was baptised at Holy Trinity Clapham on 25th May 1834. His father was William Brown and his mother Mary Ann (maiden name unknown). He had a son James c1863 married in 1888 to Sarah Ann Davey. His baptism record has him as James Holloway Brown but I have been unable to find any reference to Holloway in any other records I have come across. |

James Holloway Brown's (1834) son James (c1863) had an oil and paint shop on Chatworth Road Hackney and was married to Sarah Ann Davey. He changed the family name from Brown to Holloway in about 1901. In the 1891 census he is Brown but in the 1901 and 1911 he is Holloway. When he died in 1922 he was James Holloway Brown thats how I am pretty sure that Holloway is a name connected to the family. James Holloway Brown (1834) appears to have a brother William John who has the same parents, same baptism church and father William is a coachman in both entries. |

Once upon a time, (well, twenty years ago in fact, in the 1980′s), Bulgarian Cabernet Sauvignon was the biggest selling wine in the UK?!
So where did it go, you may ask? Well, it's a very sad story.
Due to the fall of communism in the 1980′s, the whole infrastructure of the wine industry in Bulgaria collapsed. Controls on quality and classification ceased to exist and acres and acres of vineyards were just left abandoned and neglected. Those remaining produced wine we would rather not drink!
Bulgarian wine's reputation was ruined as quality didn't seem to matter anymore – the consumer moved on to new wines….
Their success was a lot to do with their marketability, as well as quality, because International grape varieties, such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, had been planted and were easily recognisable to us as consumers in the export market.
After the initial boom and then the tragic collapse in the 1980′s, millions of pounds have now been re-invested from foreign investors- the USA, Japan etc. They have privatised the best wineries and rejuvenated these dormant vineyards and installed quality control again.
With this funding, along with foreign winemaking experts now on hand, Bulgaria is now rebuilding its reputation (albeit slowly). A reputation as a country for reasonably priced, good quality, quaffable, fruity wines that we love to drink.
So give Bulgaria the second chance it deserves!
Wine Regions:
The main wine regions of Bulgaria are
- The Black Sea
- Danube plain
- Thracian Valley
- Struma Valley
Classic Styles:
- Easy drinking, soft, fruity reds with medium body and medium acidity
- Un-oaked, fresh whites
Grape Varieties:
- Cabernet Sauvignon
- Merlot
- Other regional varieties (reds)
- Chardonnay
- Rkatsiteli (regional white)
Must Tastes:
- Shumar region's Chardonnay
- Srischtov region's Cabernet Sauvignon
- Thracian Valley's Cabernet Sauvignon (Blue Ridge)

Our country is full of natural resources, but liberal agendas keep getting in the way of common sense. We have a huge amount of crude oil of our own, but environmentalists bind oil company's hands from being able to drill in our own soil. Instead, we pay higher prices for a product shipped halfway around the world in tanker ships that each burn thousands of gallons of fuel every day. The fuel they burn is of the lowest quality, and according to a study by John Vidal, environmental editor of guardian.co.uk, as few as fifteen of the largest of these ships may emit as much pollution as all the world's cars. And there are thousands of these ships on our oceans. We don't see the large, black plumes of smoke because these ships are designed with the exhaust underneath, pumping directly into the sea. Once the tankers reach our shores and are emptied, they turn around and sail back to the Middle East completely empty, burning amazing amounts of fuel that is basically one grade higher than asphalt. Here's an idea. Instead of exporting our hard-earned money to the Middle East, why not allow the rich American oil companies a chance to use our own natural resources and open up drilling? They would create a whole slew of new jobs, and I'm sure that the best way to deliver that fuel from many of the oil fields would be by pipeline. Pipelines are the greenest and safest way to transport fuel. We can create American jobs and cut our dependency to the Middle East. This would globally be a lot cleaner than the current way in which we receive much of our oil, and I'm sure the US oil companies would be more than happy to invest in America if the current liberal agenda would just let them. I'd be willing to bet that the threat of us doing something like this alone would make the Middle East start dropping prices just to try to keep us from doing such a thing. I'm not against green, renewable energy, but let's face the facts; the technology to replace fossil fuel energy does not yet exist. Even when science discovers a way to harness a green, renewable energy, it will still take years, if not decades, to change our nation's energy infrastructures and completely come off the current "grid."

* Fee change effective July 1, 2012
Application for Certification
The fee for filing an Application for Certification (AFC) was initially set by the Legislature at $100,000 plus $250 per megawatt (MW) of gross generation capacity payable at the time of filing with the total fee not to exceed $350,000 for non-renewable projects. An annual compliance fee of $15,000 was also set for non-renewable energy projects granted a license. Payment of the first compliance fee is due after the Commission's decision, and subsequent annual compliance fees are due every July. The siting and compliance fees are adjusted annually to reflect the percentage change in the Implicit Price Deflator for State and Local Government Purchases of Goods and Services, as published by the U.S. Department of Commerce. All fees are payable to the California Energy Commission. Section 25806 of the California Public Resources Code addresses the concept and structure of the Energy Commission's filing fees for proposed generation facilities.
Initially, projects that would use a renewable resource as the primary fuel or power source were exempt from the license and compliance fees. However, beginning in FY 2010-2011 all projects, regardless of fuel source, are required to pay the siting and compliance fees.
The fees above are non-refundable per Title 20 California Code of Regulations Section 1708(g).
Small Power Plant Exemptions
The fee for filing a Small Power Plant Exemption (SPPE) application equals the actual cost of the Energy Commission's environmental review, with a deposit of $200,000 requested at the time of filing. The account will be settled after the final decision is made by the Energy Commission. The project developer will be billed for the costs that exceeded the deposit, or a refund will be provided if the costs are less than the deposit. Section 2308, Title 20, of the California Code of Regulations addresses the SPPE fee. There is no annual compliance fee for an SPPE because the Energy Commission is not licensing the project.
California Department of Fish and Game Fee
Effective January 1, 2012
Section 711.4 of the Fish and Game Code requires a current fee of $992.50 for all AFC projects receiving an Energy Commission license before the Commission Decision can be filed. An SPPE is equivalent to a California Environmental Quality Act Negative Declaration or Mitigated Negative Declaration, for which the Department of Fish and Game receives a fee of $2101.50 per Section 711.4. The Energy Commission staff collects the fees, which are payable to the California Department of Fish and Game, immediately following the Commission's decision.

>On our doorstep
Our family has been on quite a long journey this year, both literally and metaphorically. The road has been pretty rocky for one reason or another, and we still have just a few more steps before we feel like we're really settled again. In a lot of ways I'm grateful for the fact that we've just made it through some testing times, and as previous entries will testify, we are now privileged to live within reach of some fantastic places. However, I can't say I'm always very fair to the immediate area around where we live. It is a looooong way from pretty much anywhere, which means its an even longer way from family and friends. It's also somewhat less attractive than the natural splendour of the scenery up the road. But lately I've realised that I'm not really being fair to the place, not giving it a chance to be lovely because I'm too busy thinking of what it isn't. Here's an example- a Sunday afternoon full of sunshine, and with a ten minute car journey we can fill the hour before tea time playing on a huge clean stretch of sand, surrounded by dunes and overlooked by those magnificent hills. Sometimes you just have to appreciate what's right under your nose.
One Response to >On our doorstep
>Sand and ocean are magnificent, indeed. Good for you for seeing the same landscape, through fresh new eyes.

North Okanagan
Shuswap housing sales fall 35 %
Oct 12, 2012 / 6:07 am
There was good news and bad news from the Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board (OMREB) regarding sales in the Okanagan-Shuswap in its September report.
Overall unit sales in both the Central Okanagan and Shuswap were down 14 per cent and 22 percent respectively from September 2011 with single family residential the hardest hit, dropping 33 per cent and 25 per cent, while sales in the North Okanagan were up 2 per cent per cent over last year with single family residential rising 28.6 per cent.
In the Shuswap overall unit sales declined 21.6 per cent in September compared to 2011 with 58 units valued at $16.1 million compared to 74 at $21.7 million last year.
Total residential sales dropped 35.5 per cent compared to 2011 (to 40 units valued at $13.1 million from 62 at $18.1 million).
Single family unit sales for the month slipped 33.3 per cent compared to last year (to 16 units at $4.9 million from 24 at $7.6 million).
However, year-to-date figures for unit sales in 2012 improved 5.2 per cent compared to the first nine months last year (to 570 units at $170.0 million from 542 at $167.7 million).
New listings taken during the month were down 6.5 per cent over last September (143 compared to 153), but inventory rose 4.7 per cent over 2011 (to 1,793 from 1,712).
"While the Okanagan-Shuswap market saw steady improvement for five consecutive months (April through August), overall sales were down 11 per cent board-wide compared to last September," says OMREB President Rob Shaw.
"With the diversity in the OMREB Board area, there are monthly up and down fluctuations in each zone, depending on the community, housing type and price point."

This item is in: Food Science > Nestlé functional foods and nutrition series > World review of nutrition and dietetics
World Review of Nutrition and Dietetics Series No. 94
Recent studies of vascular biology using molecular biology techniques have started to reveal a previously unsuspected complexity of the vascular responses to nutrients and physical activity, thus explaining at the molecular level how healthy lifestyles interact with human genes and how they affect phenotype expression, even in the case of unfavorable genes. These findings have serious implications especially in establishing a solid scientific background for preventive strategies: for the advancement of healthy nutrition, physical activity and life habits, a thorough understanding of how drug/diet/gene interactions can act and multiply the beneficial effects of exercise is necessary. This first part of these conference proceedings is of great interest to researchers, physicians, exercise physiologists, geneticists, nutritionists, dietitians, food scientists, policy makers in government, private industry and international organizations, and public health workers worldwide.

BARCELONA, SPAIN—The Spanish government has issued a new road map for science that sets high goals for the national research system, but researchers are disappointed that it has little new money to offer. Instead, the government hopes corporate funding will increase dramatically—which the scientific community says is not likely to happen.
The new Spanish Strategy of Science, Technology, and Innovation, which was approved by the Council of Ministers on Friday, is ambitious. Taking 2010 as the starting point, the government pledges to almost double the representation of Ph.D.-holders among the population age 25 to 34 by 2020 and increase research employment from 11.8% to 16%; raise to 10% the share of publicly-funded Spanish papers ranked among the top 5% of the most cited publications globally; increase Spain's share of European Union research funds, including a 90% increase in the number of so-called Starting Grants from the European Research Council; boost the number of patent applications by 50%; and raise the national percentage of innovative companies from 18.6% to 25%.
To achieve these goals, the government also approved a battery of new measures on Friday. They include supporting scientific talent, in particular making it easier to find jobs in both the academic and private research system, promoting interdisciplinary and collaborative research, giving elite groups and institutions dedicated funding, and improving the governance of universities and national research centers. The government also aligned its research priorities with the seven focus areas identified in Horizon 2020, the European Commission's research funding plan for 2014-2020.

MC Hammer: Dublin police asked if he was on parole or probation before arrest
DUBLIN, Calif., -- Rapper and entrepreneur MC Hammer spoke out Saturday on Twitter, saying he was accosted without cause by a police officer in Dublin before being cited for obstructing the cop Thursday night.
Hammer, an Oakland native and Tracy resident whose birth name is Stanley Kirk Burrell, was arrested at the Hacienda Crossings shopping center on suspicion of obstructing an officer in the performance of their duties and resisting an officer, according to Dublin police Lt. Herb Walters. He was booked and released at Santa Rita Jail, Walters said, adding that police do not believe either alcohol or drugs were involved in the incident.
Burrell, 50, a multiplatinum recording artist who scored hits with songs like "U Can't Touch This" and "Too Legit to Quit," said on Twitter that an officer approached him in his car, tapped on his window, and asked if he was on parole or probation. A devout Christian who has spoken publicly about his faith on numerous occasions, Burrell has not had any public run-ins with the law.
As he attempted to give the "chubby elvis looking dude" his identification, Burrell said on Twitter, the officer reached inside the car and attempted to pull him out of the driver's seat through the window. Burrell said he "was laughing when he was grunting and pulling on me ... I had just left the weight room."
"It was comical to me until he pulled out his guns, blew his whistle and yelled for help," Burrell tweeted. "But make no mistake he's dangerous. (The) only thing more dangerous than a scared man with a gun, is a scared man with an agenda, a gun and a badge.
"Instead of being bitter, I'm taking the opportunity to make this a 'teachable moment' and 'eye opener' for my many friends & colleagues."
Friday morning, Burrell appeared at San Quentin Prison as a mentor in the "Last Mile" program, which helps prison inmates prepare for new lives out of custody by encouraging them to develop smartphone and computer apps.
Burrell declined interview requests sent through Twitter on Saturday.

But This Is Different: by Mary Walker Baron.
Amelia Earhart flies again in "But This is Different" (Steel Cut Press, $15) by Mary Walker Baron.
This work of fiction recounts Earhart's life 40 years after she disappeared over the Pacific Ocean.
She has made a place for herself among island natives, yet there are still many mysteries to unveil.
Baron lives in Glendale and finds it a unique coincidence that The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery
claimed it may have found items belonging to Earhart just as her book published.-- from the Pasadena Star-News

Will George Osborne hail the shale gas in his own backyard?
The Chancellor's Tatton seat is ripe for fracking – but his constituents may not share their MP's enthusiasm for the drill
Monday 03 December 2012
Related articles
It is what you might describe as the politician's ultimate Nimby dilemma. On the one hand you represent two of the more beautiful constituencies in England's green and pleasant land – with voters well used to protecting it. On the other you're a firm believer in a technology that could ruin them – turning green fields into gas fields with the added bonus of a minor earthquake or two.
That, The Independent can reveal, is the unfortunate quandary facing the Chancellor George Osborne and the Environment Secretary Owen Paterson. Both have been enthusiastic backers of the Government's "dash for shale gas", which is likely to be confirmed tomorrow when Mr Osborne announces new tax breaks for exploration and an end to the moratorium on potential on-shore gas production.
But a study of maps from the Department of Energy and Climate Change reveals that their constituencies of Tatton and Shropshire North sit right above some of the potentially most lucrative gas fields in England.
If the predictions prove to be right, it means the sound of drilling may soon be competing with birdsong. George Osborne's constituency of Tatton in Cheshire, for example, despite being a safe Tory seat, has form for kicking out errant MPs – famously ejecting Neil Hamilton in favour of the TV journalist Martin Bell in 1997. They also have form for environmental campaigning. A vociferous protest continues against plans to build an adventure playground in Tatton Park. What hope then for Mr Osborne's dream of gas wells scattered around the country, unlocking what he has describes as "the newly discovered shale gas reserves beneath our land"?
Mr Paterson is no more fortunate. Dr Johnson described Shropshire North, home to many rare and protected species of flora and fauna and designated Sites of Special Scientific Interest, as "a region abounding with striking scenes and terrific grandeur". But then, if the Environment Secretary gets his way, that could be replaced with shale gas plants which he once described as "God given". "I do think we should not be frightened of shale gas and not be alarmed, of which a lot of is exaggerated," he has said.
Mark Menzies, the Conservative MP for Fylde in Lancashire, has an early experience of the potential local backlash against fracking, after drilling by the shale gas company Cuadrilla caused two small earthquakes in his constituency near Blackpool. He has been inundated with objections from residents and has raised those on several occasions in the Commons. Mr Menzies said it was vital for stronger independent regulation and transparency before any further licences were handed out. "We are not like the United States with vast swathes of uninhabited land," he said. "I think the only way that fracking can be done in Britain is on a very small scale." So what will Mssrs Osborne and Paterson do? Mr Paterson remains unrepentant. He said the potential drilling site was very close to his home in the constituency and with the appropriate environmental safeguards he was happy for it to go ahead. "This is an exciting, totally new opportunity to bring wealth and development to rural communities," he said yesterday. "But importantly the quality of environmental regulation stays the same."
However whether his constituents agree is another matter.
Greenpeace sound like they are relishing the men's potential discomfort. "It will be interesting to see whether George Osborne's rush for shale gas exploration in the English countryside causes a backlash from his own constituents in Tatton, when they learn fracking rigs could be erected in their backyard," said Leila Deen, an energy campaigner at the environmental group.
"I suspect there are a number of MPs with rural constituencies from all the political parties who are feeling very apprehensive about Osborne's gamble with gas."
