London, Southwark (PRWEB UK) 28 August 2014
Public opinion has been divided very starkly indeed by the government’s invitation to energy companies to apply for licenses to develop shale gas across a broad swathe of the United Kingdom. On the one hand, many environmental and conservation groups are bitterly opposed to shale development. Ranged against them are those within and beyond the energy industry who believe that the exploitation of shale gas can prove not only vital but hugely positive for the British economy.
