Shale Gas

Proceeding contribution from Callum McCaig (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 30 June 2015. It occurred during Debate on Shale Gas.

I certainly do, but it has been pointed out that other technologies could be better. In the context of carbon, when we extract more resources we need to make sure that we get the best ones and the biggest bang for our buck. As I represent Aberdeen, and given the continuing potential of the North sea, I wonder what effect investigating new onshore gas will have on the well established offshore industry, which makes an immense contribution. That needs to be considered along with the entire energy mix that we are considering.
