Lancashire Evening Post: Energy and Climate Change Committee ‘backs shale gas drilling’
The committee advising the Government on ‘fracking’ has advised them to support exploratory drilling.
The Energy and Climate Change Committee’s report into the impact of shale gas on energy markets said it would be ‘impossible’ to determine how much shale gas could be tapped into unless some drilling was encouraged.
Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, is a process which sees gallons of water and a chemical pumped into the ground to fracture shale rock and release natural gas. MORE
