I'm not so sure, but I think there's growing evidence from the US that the economic benefits are illusory.  It appears to be the case that after initial quick returns the flow rate drops off and you are left throwing more and more money at ever-diminishing production. This is evidenced by the fact that many developers sell out completely after first production.

The old stock market addage that a mine is a hole in the ground with a liar standing beside it could apply.

 

Whatever government we get is going to go for it because it offers quick budget fixes on a politician's time scale.  So, there's little point in opposing it, as you are only inviting being lied to.

This and gasification are a politician's wet dream but a nightmare for anyone else!
