Good to read any speaking out - this from Scottish National Party (SNP) : [The UK Department of Energy and Climate Change has announced proposals to grant automatic underground drilling access to energy companies, in spite of Scottish Government and public opposition, and with no right of appeal or notification for the people who live on the land above such drilling. Commenting, Mr Weir said: “It is utterly unacceptable that the Westminster Government plans to allow underground drilling rights beneath people’s homes to be granted without any right for people to object or even be notified. The Scottish Government and people across Scotland and indeed the UK, have told the Westminster Government they are wrong, but as usual they are simply not listening. That is why the SNP’s Westminster group will oppose these sections of the UK Infrastructure Bill when it returns to the Commons in the weeks ahead. “The gung-ho approach being taken by the Westminster Government to fracking stands in stark contrast to the cautious, considered and evidence based approach being taken in Scotland, and further underlines why energy policy should be devolved to Scotland.”]
