Shale gas
The UK’s shale gas ‘revolution’ doesn’t seem to have lived up to its
hype, after it was revealed only 11 new exploratory wells are due to be drilled
this year, despite the continued fall of oil prices.
UK
Prime Minister David Cameron has said his government is pushing for a “shale
gas revolution,”although only a handful have been confirmed as
candidates for fracking, according to official government statements.
Energy firms involved in fracking projects
claim the government statements were ‘speculative’ and that suggestions the UK
could rely on shale gas for up to thirty years was “optimistic.”
