One the one hand, I'm annoyed that any new gas drilling is being allowed.

On the other, good, they can suffer from the policies they voted for, fuck 'em.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The Loxley site, just outside the village of Dunsfold, has been at the centre of a protracted legal battle over plans by the energy company UK Oil and Gas (Ukog) to sink an exploration well.

The chancellor, Jeremy Hunt, has faced criticism after being accused of not sufficiently opposing the scheme since taking his cabinet position.

Before becoming chancellor, Hunt had previously said the drilling would “create enormous disruption and environmental damage for little if any economic benefit”, and attended protests against the scheme.

A source close to Hunt said he could not comment on cases subject to judicial review as a government minister, but that his views on the project as a constituency MP are a matter of public record.

This Conservative government’s policies have resulted in greedy gas barons ripping up the Surrey Hills.
