Another Labour lord talking sense!!!

The BBC understands that Lord Smith is to say he will not stand in the way of Induced hydraulic fracturing in the UK.

The former Labour cabinet minister will admit that it causes environmental risks, but with careful monitoring these may be overcome.

Lord Smith is expected to insist, however, that power firms should be required to capture the carbon emissions from burning gas and store them in underground rocks to prevent them contributing to climate change - something power firms are not currently obliged to do.

The BBC's environment analyst, Roger Harrabin, says Lord Smith is also likely to anger environmentalists by calling for more nuclear power stations in the UK.

of course we need to start fracking, we need the energy.

Another, who was the first?

Anyway, he's spot on. Nobody has given a reasonable reason not to. Coal mining has the same risks of earthquakes and we don't stop that.

Scat just so you know, your link is wrong, you might want to correct it.
