The message of shale gas is: scrap the Climate Act

Christopher Booker,Telegraph
" Then, just as they have cobbled this crazy joke of a policy together, we discover that we are sitting on what is potentially the world’s largest resource of a fuel so cheap that it has halved the price of gas across the Atlantic in just five years. The last time I observed that the Almighty must have a sense of humour was in October 2008 when, just as our MPs were voting almost unanimously for Ed Miliband’s Climate Change Act, committing us to economic suicide by cutting CO2 emissions by 80 per cent in 40 years, the first October snow was falling in London for 74 years. We will not see an end to this insanity until our politicians recover their senses, struggle back into the real world and strike that Act from the statute book."
