Academics fear fracking research could be manipulated by industry cash

2015-11-05 07:26:52| Oil & Gas - Topix.net

NEW research that will determine whether fracking will be allowed out in Scotland must be conducted by independent experts and not based on findings from consultants funded by the oil and gas industry, experts have warned. The co-author of a new paper, published today, argues that Scotland can lead the global debate on unconventional gas extraction but concerns have been raised that government agencies may not have the staff or resources to conduct a truly independent probe into safety or potential impacts on public health.
