Will Boris Johnson drill for shale gas in London?
2013-07-02 13:44:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: The London mayor, Boris Johnson, is a big fan of shale gas. So much so that he told the Times today: "If reserves of shale can be exploited in London we should leave no stone unturned, or unfracked, in the cause of keeping the lights on". Putting a drilling rig in the middle of one of the world's most densely populated cities may sound like a outlandish scheme - even for the notoriously eccentric Mayor. But could it work?

Guardian: Make no mistake, this is significant. No sooner do I lament the lack of political vision over cycling in Britain, as seen at the inquiry set up by the all-party parliamentary cycling group, when someone else altogether steps in with something truly bold. That someone is Boris Johnson, whose true commitment to cycling I've questioned in the past, not least following the debacle over his falsely claiming the bulk of serious accidents were cyclists' fault and then failing to retract or apologise...
