Shale gas risk or opportunity?

This video on Shale Gas seeks to put forward a balanced view of the shale gas industry in Europe. Using experiences from EU Member States and commentary from experts and representatives from industry and NGOs, the video dispels myths about both the benefits and concerns surrounding shale gas exploration and makes the case for EU action.
The European Commission adopted a Recommendation aiming to ensure that proper environmental and climate safeguards are in place for "fracking" -- the high-volume hydraulic fracturing technique used in shale gas operations.
The Recommendation should help all Member States address risks and improve transparency for citizens. It also lays the ground for a level playing field for industry and establishes a clearer framework for investors.

Fracking is the cause of the homeless crises because the micro surface quakes are destroying the foundations of buildings in a much bigger area as currently thought and admitted by the operators. The vibration also erode shore lines and cause cracks on highways!!!

[@mrclarkson3812]

As an American ,I am completely supportive Europe's restrictions or outright Ban on Fracking..America can supply you,as well as other exporters....No worries...

[@hema786ful]

its higher and higher risky for all living beings and environment. ...it destroys agriculture and water resources

[@thebunnieskiller]

Hema Tamizhachi 777 yeah, because agriculture doesn't waste water...

Use own energy is cheaper. Without imported. Energy independence for future

[@howardlitson9796]

Don't depending on others's goods.

Russian natural gas turn face or cut off anytime.

'Gasland' is one of the greatest documentaries ever made. Josh Fox has tried to waken the sleepers, cut through Big Energy propaganda, and INFORM the public. A mighty task, and all should be grateful for his efforts - and motivated, at the very least, to vote GREEN. Where ever you are in the world, this affects YOU.

More depending on russian natural gas, Russian more cut off. Don't become Russian slavery of energy weapons. Arising and stand up! Energy independence for future is best opportunities

[@howardlitson9796]

Opportunities for shale gas. Use own energy is cheaper. Don't miss out opportunities. Shale gas in homeland of EU without imported natural gas from Russia.
