Huffington Post: David Cameron and Shale Gas

It seems the UK prime minister David Cameron is finally giving in to the anti-wind power and the pro-fracking part of his party, lead by chancellor George Osborne, as the fracking debate is getting hotter.

With recent remarks stated by Cameron that Britain can't afford to miss out on shale gas , and communities just have to bear the brunt, while at the same time attacking wind power. Cameron advocates that no more onshore wind turbines should be built in the UK , and delivers a complete u-turn from his previous statements. He is also going against what the majority of analysts are saying that shale gas won't lower energy bills, he insists they will.

As the row is escalating, embarrassing remarks were made by Lord Howell, saying that fracking should only take place in the desolate North East (he later corrected that to North West), Cameron has seen it necessary to take the promotion of shale gas into his own hands, something that so far has been left to George Osborne.  MORE
