Netherlands Report Positive For Fracking

摘要

A report prepared for the government in the Netherlands on the impact of hydraulic fracturing has found that the risks from fracking to produce shale gas can be contained. "Natural gas is the most important energy resource in the Netherlands, used by 98% of all households. The study shows that under the current legislation the risks from fracking can easily be controlled," Economic Minister Henk Kamp told the Dutch Parliament last week. 'To assess the potential importance of fracking for the Dutch economy, we will have to carry out test drills," he added.
