BBC: UK shale gas bonanza 'not assured'
Shale gas in the UK could help secure domestic energy supplies but may not bring down prices, MPs report.
The US boom in shale gas has brought energy prices tumbling and revitalised heavy industry, but the Energy and Climate Change Committee warns conditions are different in Britain.
The MPs say the UK's shale gas developers will face technological uncertainties with different geology.
And public opinion may also be more sceptical, they add.
