Mixed reactions to delay Dutch delay on shale gas drilling:
"A Dutch government move to delay a decision on allowing shale gas drilling was hailed by local communities but "regretted" by energy boosters.
Netherlands Economic Affairs Minister Henk Kamp announced last week the Cabinet would take 1 1/2 more years to study the potential effects of hydraulic fracturing on the environment before allowing Britain's Cuadrilla Resources to drill test wells in the central province of Flevoland.
In a Wednesday letter to the House of Representatives in The Hague, Kamp said more time is needed to study the entire range of possible shale gas sites in the country before approving the licenses, the Dutch daily Volksrant reported."
