After the vote, Ms Carney said: “It is late … I feel rotten, and I feel
tired.”
She added: “I feel that mistakes are made constantly when people are
tired.”

“There’s a green button and a red button – they should know which one to

Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, is the high-pressure injection of millions

It allows energy firms to tap deposits that were previously unreachable by
conventional mining. But environmental campaigners say the chemicals used
contaminate the surrounding water supply.
