And of course unless you're doing fracking as a state activity and restricting sales to the UK only, if it's done commercially there is no guarantee that it'll actually reduce retail prices anyway.
That's what the USA is finding at the moment - domestic oil companies are getting market value for what they're producing and are sending it out of the USA as part of that commercial activity, so it's not reducing their domestic market prices.
