Santa and Shale Gas
Who is the festive fellow who could help save Europe's indebted economies from austerity? And how significant are the vast reserves of shale gas that are just beginning to be exploited?
Business Daily's new commentator Colm O'Regan discusses the key theme of the last year for Europe's indebted economies - austerity - and suggests a celebrated senior citizen who might just be able to help out. And the programme looks at shale gas, the world's vast new fossil fuel resource. Justin Rowlatt interviews Manouchehr Takin of the Centre for Global Energy Studies about the scale and significance of shale gas, while Alfonso Daniel reports from rural Pennsylvania, where the shale gas rush began, on the benefits and shortcomings of this new resource.
