Shale Gas, Rural Economy Impacts Report by DECC

In a recent report published by the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero, it has been criticised by Green MP, Caroline Lucas, for the number of redactions it contains.

It’s perfectly obvious that the report includes references to the impact of fracking the government would prefer we don’t read-hence the redactions.

It’s worth reading through and learning for example the negative impact on house prices where fracking has happened in the US. The low yield scenario suggests that the amount of fracked gas is barely 1% of current UK demand.
