I don't get how he's an industry puppet or Shill, though the Gaurdian do try to wind up the Watermellons with every headline, I suppose.

Any company that carries out works that may have environmental effects are certain/almost duty bound to carry out 3rd party environmental studies. Not paid-for 'appeasement documents' but, real, valid, accurate studies that are independent and as accurate as possible. I know, I've seen them. And the companies I've worked for often don't like, but have to abide by the results of them.
