Dr. Walker has just the let the cat out of the bag. The reason it has not proceeded is because it would not make money, not because it would be extremely damaging to the environment. This is where priorities are being skewed. They are skewed towards the companies that want to make a load of money from oil and gas instead of towards the limitation of damage to the environment and planet that would occur if our Bill was passed.
