British Prime Minister Tells Greens: ‘You Are Wrong On Shale Gas’
Britain must be at the heart of a “shale gas revolution”, David Cameron has said, which could bring down energy prices and help “re-industrialise” the economy. He said he wanted Britain to play a full part in the “revolution underway” and criticised environmentalists who were opposed to exploiting the technology. Giving his public backing for plans to exploit the country’s onshore gas reserves – which is expected to be given the go-ahead by the Government very shortly – Mr Cameron said the new technology could transform our energy supplies. But his stance was attacked by climate change scientists and energy experts who warned his dash-to-gas policy was “misleading and dangerous”. –Oliver Wright, Michael McCarthy, Tom Bawden, The Independent, 12 December 2012
