Mark Ruskell MSP, Energy & Environment spokesperson for the Scottish Greens, today (8 Nov) said research into fracking published by the Scottish Government shows the risky drilling technique looks doomed.
Green MSPs led Holyrood's first debate on fracking in 2014, calling for a ban.
Today's reports identify a “gap in the regulations relating to decommissioning, aftercare and long-term well failure liabilities of onshore wells.”
The reports also state that if fracking goes ahead it will make meeting climate change targets in other areas harder.
