I'm guessing that when man first decided to dig underground for raw materials, that there were doom merchants who said that the ground would fall in and swallow whole villages and settlements.

Looking at the science it would seem it's ok as long as it's done carefully, therefore its about regulating it properly. Unfortunately I wouldn't trust a single MP in Westminster to think it through and put in a regulating body with teeth.
