Will Boris Johnson drill for shale gas in London?
2013-07-02 13:44:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: The London mayor, Boris Johnson, is a big fan of shale gas. So much so that he told the Times today: "If reserves of shale can be exploited in London we should leave no stone unturned, or unfracked, in the cause of keeping the lights on". Putting a drilling rig in the middle of one of the world's most densely populated cities may sound like a outlandish scheme - even for the notoriously eccentric Mayor. But could it work? Dr Nick Riley, Team Leader for Unconventional Gas at the British Geological...

Guardian: For a moment, let's take the shale gas evangelists at their word. Britain has stumbled on a pile of carbon cash in its cellar, the energy equivalent of finding a stack of ugly but valuable china in the attic. With North Sea oil and gas in decline and global markets volatile and pricey, suddenly there seems a sure way to deliver the government's promise of building 40 new gas power stations. By odd coincidence, newly estimated gas resources in the Bowland shale could meet our demand for gas for 40...
Are We Living Through a Shale Bubble?

Environmental News Network: On May 24th, J. David Hughes and Deborah Rogers gave a briefing to summarize the findings of two new reports dismantling the myth of a "shale revolution". We've heard about it in the media, on both sides of the political aisle: shale gas and oil are the future of US energy.

In January, Barack Obama said that: "We have...
