Reuters: UK should do more to speed shale gas development - MPs
MPs criticised the government on Friday for unnecessarily delaying development of shale gas, saying it should now encourage companies to come up with more accurate estimates of recoverable reserves.
The lack of progress over the past two years in exploration and development of UK shale gas is disappointing and needs to speed up, members of the influential cross-party Energy and Climate Change Committee in parliament said in a report.
"We do not believe that it was necessary to take so long to establish the safety of fracking," the report said.
