Time to get lobbying your MSPs with gusto? AND LOCK THE GATES! .. Their little black hearts will sink when they see those all-too-familiar yellow triangles. Desperate Australian drillers Dart Energy have appealed to the Scottish Government to push through permissions for its 22 coalbed methane wells at Airth, near Falkirk. "This is a clear sign that Dart is so desperate for a decision that it is unwilling to let the proper democratic processes take place within the Councils. The Councils are quite reasonably waiting for the results of a technical study they have commissioned but Dart clearly too scared of many unanswered questions over unconventional gas wait for the answers to come back. The local community have been very vocal in their opposition to Dart’s plans with two thousand objections to date. It’s right that the Council are taking their time to decide the application when the potential risks of it going ahead are so high in terms of climate and public health." - Friends of the Earth Scotland Campaigns Co-ordinator Mary Church.
