“The German government has suspended plans to regulate fracking until after September’s election, prolonging the uncertainty that has hampered development of the gas extraction technology in Europe’s biggest economy. Angela Merkel’s centre-right government had drawn up legislation laying out the conditions for exploration and imposing restrictions on where drilling could take place, but that has now been put on hold. ‘The fracking law has failed,’ Horst Meierhofer, a member of the pro-business Free Democrats (FDP) who share power with Merkel’s conservatives, told Reuters. Senior conservatives also said the plans had been put on hold.”
