The government has lifted a ban on fracking for shale gas, in place since 2019 after a series of tremors, even though a review concluded that forecasting fracking-induced earthquakes “remains a scientific challenge”
Ed Miliband, the shadow climate change and net zero secretary, called fracking a"dangerous fantasy" that costs"far more than renewables".
Mr Miliband accused the Conservatives of breaking a 2019 manifesto commitment that pledged not to support fracking"unless the science shows categorically that it can be done safely".A furious Mark Menzies, MP for Fylde, the entirety of which is already licenced for oil and gas exploration, demanded to know"how that local consent will be given and demonstrated," while Sir Greg Knight said the public safety is"not a currency in which some of us choose to speculate".
The peer-reviewed report, which has been with the business and energy department since July but was published today, admitted that projecting the occurrence and magnitude of large earthquakes"remains a scientific challenge for the geoscience community".
