Groningen gas production challenged in Dutch court
The TRUTH will set you FREE.
THE HAGUE, SEPT 10 | BY TOBY STERLING
(Reuters) – A Dutch high court on Thursday began hearing complaints from groups seeking to reduce or stop gas production at the Groningen gas field, Europe’s largest, to reduce the danger of earthquakes.
No date has been set for a ruling by the Council of State, but a court official said it would likely come in late autumn.
Work at Groningen has become increasingly controversial as earthquakes linked to it have become more intense, causing billions of euros of damage to buildings.
No physical injuries have been reported from the quakes, the largest of which was 3.6 on the Richter scale, but the country’s Safety Board in February determined that the government had systematically underestimated the danger to citizens.
