"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, from one side we are being told that shale gas could cause an energy revolution because its reserves are large enough and essential to our economic needs. From the other side we hear that its extraction has not been researched sufficiently and that it could endanger public health and harm both current and future generations. Indeed, the information is too contradictory and using only good or bad examples from the United States causes too many doubts.
Until we are completely sure that this technology is safe enough and that it will not cause especially large and painful ecological catastrophes, we are in my opinion being too bold in discussing the extraction of this gas in Europe.
I would support research into the opportunities to extract shale gas without negative effects on the environment. This would be a primary task for European scientists and I believe that it is a task that they are able to tackle."@en1
