Ukrainian-British Tory donor, and director of Aquind, Alexander Temerko backs the move to ban fracking and supports investment in infrastructure projects such as interconnectors

“Rishi Sunak’s ban on fracking has corrected a historic political and environmental mistake,” he said.

“The previous government’s destructive policy on fracking was short-sighted, but fracking is a distraction from the real issues of the energy crisis – the UK’s long-term capacity for generation, and for energy import and export.”
