Where would today's missing 22%(compared to Q1 figures) have come from instead?
Fracking gas in the UK, would increased supply, thereby reducing market prices.

Fracking gas in the UK would provide a miniscule amount of gas such that global prices would not be impacted.
Q1 is in the winter so another quarter would have more solar. You can't look on a daily basis for energy generation.
Today's figures don't show that a shift to more renewables, storage and nuclear cannot be done.
We need to get on with it for the sake of future generations let alone ourselves.
