UK MPs approved Hydraulic Fracturing under National Parks
The UK Members of Parliament (MPs) have approved Hydraulic Fracturing (otherwise known as "fracking") under National Parks. By this step which contracdicts UK's previous stance on the controversial hydraulic fracking method of extracting gas from the ground, the UK government has demonstated the plan to develop the country's oil and gas market through fracking.
The guardian newspaper reported that:
"The MPs have voted to allow fracking under Britain’s national parks, drawing accusations that the ruling government has sneaked the measure through parliament without a proper debate.
Ministers used a statutory instrument – a form of secondary legislation – to push through the new rules, which means legislation can pass into law without a debate in the House of Commons. MPs voted in favour by 298 to 261.
The new rules allow fracking 1,200 metres below national parks and sites of special scientific interest, as long as drilling takes place from outside protected areas. This comes despite the government previously pledging an outright ban on the controversial technique for extracting shale gas in such areas".
Environmentalists and other stakeholgers in the environmental industry have been arguing that is a reverse trend by UK in the struggle to overcomw global warming.
