US Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz interview on fracking
Description
The US Energy Secretary has told Channel Four News that fracking can be done in an environmentally sound way. The comments by Ernest Moniz come in the week that David Cameron called many opponents of the controversial technique 'irrational.' The Prime Minister stressed his commitment to fracking as a key energy source of the future by announcing financial incentives for councils and communities that allow drilling in their area. The Government estimates the industry could attract 3.7 billion pounds a year in investment and support 74 thousand jobs. But environmentalists say the offer to councils is little more than bribery and warn that that exploring for shale gas may be unsafe.
