2014年1月，时任英国首相大卫卡梅隆宣布，他的政府将“全力以赴争取页岩气”。2019年11月，在竞选期间，首相鲍里斯·约翰逊的保守党政府暂停了水力压裂，使英国页岩气开发的行业希望破灭。本文探讨了发生了什么，采用混合方法的研究设计，包括文献综述，专家访谈，家庭访谈，一系列具有全国代表性和地方调查，以及政治证词的内容分析整合研究。它首先简要介绍了英国页岩气辩论的历史以及对该问题的社会科学研究。然后，它研究了英国的页岩气景观，特别是能源政策的失败，考虑三个问题：第一，在国家议会的页岩气辩论的框架，探讨支持和反对它的论据;第二，改变公众的看法和态度对页岩气开发;第三，最受页岩气勘探活动影响的社区的态度和生活经验。这三个方面相结合，以解释英国政府的页岩气失败的日期。本文最后总结了政府最初政策失败的教训，既涉及进一步的页岩气勘探，也涉及未来净零能源系统所需的其他技术。
In January 2014, then British Prime Minister David Cameron declared that his government was ‘Going all out for Shale.’ In November 2019, during an election campaign, Prime Minister Boris Johnson's Conservative Government imposed a moratorium on hydraulic fracturing bringing to a halt industry hopes of developing shale gas in the UK. This paper explores what happened, integrating research employing a mixed methods research design including a review of the literature, expert interviews, household interviews, a series of nationally representative and local surveys, and a content analysis of political testimony. It starts with a brief history of the shale gas debate in the UK and social science research on the issue. It then examines the UK's Shale Gas landscape, and in particular energy policy failure, by considering three issues: first, the framing of the shale gas debate in the national Parliament, exploring the arguments for and against it; second, changing public perceptions and attitudes towards shale gas development; and third, the attitudes and lived experiences of the communities most affected by shale gas exploration activities. These three dimensions are combined to explain the UK Government's shale gas failure to-date. The paper concludes by identifying the lessons learnt from the Government's initial policy failure, both in relation to further shale gas exploration, but also for other technologies required for a future Net-Zero energy system.
