I really don't understand you Europeans. It is like you are determined to strangle yourselves with endless regulation.
People latch onto this ridiculous unproven carbon idea which any rational observer can see is just that...unproven. As the economy swirls down the toilet, more and more regulation and taxes. Yet you have something that could be a boon to you.....Shale gas/oil.
Hundreds of thousands of good jobs can be created by going full out in extracting this... Not only that, like the U.S. which is now predicted to overtake Russia and Saudi Arabia in prduction in a decade, you could have the trillions of dollars that come with it. And the cheap energy costs.
Problem solved and then then the cost cutting of the scary beuraucracies that needs to be done can be done without an endless recession.
But, people are too beholden by the pie in the sky do gooders. Take my suggestion...the solution is at hand....dig it out of the ground.
