The American fracking executive knows as the 'Frack Master' has clashed with a Friends of the Earth campaigner in a heated exchange on 5 live. Chris Faulkner, the Chief Executive of Breitling Energy Corporation in Dallas, Texas, told Tony Bosworth from Friends of the Earth that environmentalists were "fearful" of fracking. "If you had your way Britain would have the lights turned out right now", said Mr Faulkner, an executive and author known for his cowboy boots and combative style. Mr Bosworth accused Mr Faulkner of talking "weasel words" and "presenting opinions as facts." The Frack Master is in the UK to attend the Shale World UK fracking conference in Birmingham.
