But Government sources dismissed the EAC report as “total rubbish”, while
academics criticised the Committee’s findings.
Professor Quentin Fisher, Professor of petroleum geoengineering at the
University of Leeds, said: “It is disappointing to see a Government
committee putting the ill-informed views of anti-fracking groups ahead of
evidence-based scientific studies." ......Ken Cronin, chief executive of the fracking industry body the UK Onshore
Operators Group, said: "This rushed report ignores the fact that gas is
not just a source of electricity but has a major impact on everyday life
with respect to products we use, to heat our homes, the cooking we do and
the jobs it sustains in industry. ........A spokesman for the Department of Energy and Climate Change said: “We disagree
with the conclusion of this report. We have one of the most robust
regulatory regimes for shale gas. UK shale development is compatible with
our goal to cut greenhouse gas emissions.”
