IEA Chief Operating Officer and Energy Analyst Andy Mayer has been quoted in The Times attacking the government’s decision to reinstate the fracking ban.
Andy was quoted:

“This decision will not help the planet; the UK will become more dependent on gas imports, with higher emissions than local production.”
