Natascha Engel says a system which halts fracking when a 0.5-magnitutde tremor is recorded 'amounts to a de facto ban'.

The government's fracking tsar has quit the post after just six months, claiming policy around the controversial process has meant her role has become"an impossible task".

Natascha Engel said a traffic light system which halts fracking when a tremor with a magnitude of 0.5 is recorded"amounts to a de facto ban" and accused environmental activists of being"highly successful" in encouraging the government to curb fracking despite its"enormous potential".

She had no scientific or energy sector background so she wasn’t suitable for the job in the first place

Water is far more important than low grade methane fracked gas. Once the water is fracked it becomes radioactive waste water and can never be used again and disposed of. Earthquakes caused by fracking is hardly too cautious

He he. Chuffed about this

Tsar? Retard!

Good , fracking is NOT wanted!

It should read “after filling her pockets, selling her soul to the gas companies and knowing she’ll be responsible for irreparable environmental damage to the UK” There fixed it for you

Good, may she never darken our door again.

Why should we follow the stupidity of us

She just fracked off!

Absolute charlatan of a woman. Ignored local constituents to cosy up to Ineos and then lost a safe labour seat to a anti fracking Tory. She’s a disgrace

And another one bites the dust

So sorry to hear that Ms Engel should have the conviction of her scientific facts to fight political weaknesses around fracking So sorry indeed

What did she actually do day to day when she was in the job

Science shows fracking can be done safely and will reduce our carbon footprint whilst we search for and develop renewables with the tax money it will raise. That’s a honest truths the loud shouty woke left will not want you to hear . Windmills won’t charge your iPhone

A 'de facto' ban? 🤔 Doesn't she mean a 'de fracto' ban? I'll get my coat.

Different substrates/geology. You can't go in with 1.5 limit in a new area like you plan to. You are testing one? area and monitoring one? area so you can learn the limits. Using a different method elsewhere is reckless

natural variability

Shame that money and effort isn't being spent on renewables, instead of environmentally questionable alternatives 😏

Fracking is a small immediate gain for generations of polluted ground water

Does she speak from 'that chair'?

t....sar! 🎉 but it’s not magic, just bollocks.
