A significant gas field has been found in Lincolnshire that has the potential to satisfy Britain's energy requirements for ten years, as reported by Egdon Resources. This discovery could bring in up to £112 billion for the economy, generate tens of thousands of job opportunities, and lessen dependency on imported gas. Despite the find, Energy Secretary Ed Miliband has confirmed the continuation of a fracking ban in line with Labour's manifesto. Experts emphasize that this gas reserve plays a crucial role as a 'bridging fuel' for shifting towards renewable energy, underscoring the Government's need to enhance energy security.
