French Energy Minister
Segolene Royal said she is investigating legal means to ban the
import of shale gas from the United States because France has banned
shale gas exploration using hydraulic fracking for environmental
reasons..
I am afraid, Ms Royal
is unaware of the whole truth. Russia's Gazprom is also using
hydraulic fracking at its super-giant
Yamburg gas
field and
smaller reservoirs.
Moreover,
Rosneft,
Gazprom Neft and other companies in Russia use fracking to
produce oil.
For the sake of
consistency, French Energy Minister should also consider banning the
imports of Russian oil and natural gas.
