    Can GUARANTEE that the Welsh Govt are going to allow coal bed methane (CBM) extraction (shale gas fracking's 'evil twin'). It's going to be waved through by National Resources Wales. See this consultation (heavily skewed to emphasizing economic benefits) https://beta.gov.wales/sites/default/files/consultations/2018-07/180703-study-of-the-potential-impact-of-onshore-coal-bed-methane-production-in-wales.pdf …

        Problem is that economic impact (jobs!) is given equal weight as a consideration throughout what should be just an environmental consultation. Even when the negative impact on the environment is clearly demonstrated, this is always downplayed, and 'job potential' emphasized

        Here is where the explorative drilling will likely go ahead. Lots of sites in Neath Port Talbot (lucky!)pic.twitter.com/yYeYHVpwwI

        This table explains the ranking scale they used to judge the impact of Coal Bed Methane extraction. Basically, a score of minus is bad, with minus E being 'Major negative change/impacts' and minus D being 'Significant negative change/impacts'.pic.twitter.com/oDNssrcwUC

        Ok these are the scores for impact on the environment. As you can see, it's all bad. A lot of minus Ds: significant risk of contamination of ground water, big increase in air pollution, contamination of aquifier.pic.twitter.com/siIieJR0xe

        Tables for ecology/wildlife and social/cultural. No positives for wildlife, big problems in terms of increased traffic, negative impact on local scenery, health and safety risk to general public. BUT, here's where the Welsh Govt will focus on: a B PLUS for employment generationpic.twitter.com/RMk4GrBwjR

        This is the table that matters to Welsh Government & their stooges in Natural Resources Wales: pluses for economic growth & energy production. The destruction of the environment, contamination of water supply, the hassle, the ruined scenery? That stuff doesn't matter, this doespic.twitter.com/szDt1vaXP2

        And as we said above, look at the wording here. Notice how the positive economic stuff (the *only* positives of the whole assessment) are emphasized & all the seriously negative environment stuff is dismissed. Any normal person describing those tables would emphasize the oppositepic.twitter.com/Teqgxhy8Hd

        It's so fucking craven. At least try and retain some respectability and integrity as a researcher, rather than dismissing what are clearly the most significant findings of your own research just so you can tell the government what they want to hear? That's academic impact for you
