Tim Yeo busily selling out the environment again (xpost)

[Nihil]

A Commons committee has urged ministers to support plans for controversial shale gas
drilling in the UK.

...

The MPs said this looks a case of inadequate regulation. Tim Yeo MP, chairman of the committee, said: "We can't see any evidence that UK water supplies might be at risk from shale gas - if it is done properly," he told BBC News.

"The regulatory agencies have to keep their vigilance and monitor drilling closely - but the area where the fracking is being done is well below the water table so there really should not be an issue."
