The “regulation” of unconventional gas

posted in: Updates | 0

This presentation by Brian Davey, made in July 2016 on behalf of Frack Free Notts, outlines the problems with the regulatory structure for unconventional gasfield development in the UK. It discusses the problem of “regulatory capture” by the industry, deceptive PR, the selective recognition of ‘experts’ and siloing of different aspects of safety (such as the environment and health).”

An video of the presentation is available below. Please note that the recording quality is low – however it can be made out if your audio is turned up:
